How She Escaped the Fight-or-Flight Loop
Manage episode 501359675 series 3670141
In this soul-deep episode of Survival Mode Disrupted, Sivani walks us through the unfiltered truth of healing from chronic trauma. From gut-wrenching public breakdowns to rebuilding her body, boundaries, and brain from the ground up—this is the roadmap no one talks about.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
- 🧠 The real reason meditation and routine didn’t work at first
- 💊 Why she said yes to Western medicine (and how it actually helped)
- 🌀 How hypnotherapy unlocked deeply buried trauma
- ⚡ Breaking the addiction to fight-or-flight responses
- 🔐 Rebuilding trust in the body, in others, and in herself
🎙️ What We Talk About:
- How trauma becomes homeostasis
- Why nervous system dysregulation keeps us stuck (even when we're "doing the work")
- The difference between temporary coping and actual transformation
- What hypnotherapy revealed that talk therapy couldn’t reach
- Why some people resist healing (hint: it’s not weakness—it’s survival)
- Setting and sustaining boundaries after a lifetime of people-pleasing
- Redefining what it means to be in process, not perfectly healed
🔑 Key Takeaways:
“Your body will defend the very thing that’s destroying it—because it feels familiar.”
“Healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about permission.”
“You can’t boundary your way out of trauma—you have to face the root.”
“Being a people-pleaser isn’t kindness—it’s a survival strategy with receipts.”
🙌 Why This Episode Matters:
This conversation dismantles the fantasy of a "final stage" of healing.
Sivani’s story reminds us that recovery is a mosaic of modalities—none of which can carry the full load alone.
If you've tried the journaling, tried the therapy, tried the mindset work and still feel stuck—you're not broken.
You're buried.
And this episode hands you a damn shovel.
