You’ve done the therapy. Taken the supplements. Tried journaling, yoga, maybe even medication. So why are you still stuck in survival?

In this episode, Alex breaks down one of the most common frustrations in healing: doing “all the right things” and still not feeling better. She explains how trauma impacts the nervous system and why traditional top-down approaches, like CBT, often fall short if your body isn’t ready.

You’ll learn:

• What dysregulation really is (and how it keeps you in coping mode)

• The difference between managing symptoms and healing at the root

• Why coping strategies can masquerade as personality traits

• How integration - not intensity - is the missing link

This is the episode to listen to if you’re exhausted from trying, and finally ready to understand what your system actually needs to heal.
