How to Rewire a Nervous System Stuck in Survival Mode (A Therapist Explains)
Your nervous system isn’t broken; it’s doing exactly what it learned to keep you safe. The problem is what protected you then can exhaust you now. In this episode, EMDR therapist Kelly O’Horo explains how the nervous system works, how stress and trauma get stored in the body, the science of neuroplasticity, and how therapies like EMDR help you rewire from survival mode toward flexibility and calm, including the “hand model of the brain” and why we “flip our lid” under stress.
