Podcast:Beyond Survival - The Therapy Podcast with Katie McKenna Published On: Fri Oct 24 2025 Description: This week, I read a letter from a listener who’s been no contact with her mother for two years - but still feels like she’s living with her shadow.Every bark of the dog, every knock at the door, sends her body into high alert. Even something as simple as checking the mailbox feels dangerous. Myself and Dr. Ruth Callaghan will explore what it’s like when no contact doesn’t bring peace, and how our nervous system can become stuck in fight/flight - especially when the person we’re protecting ourselves from once felt impossible to escape.Follow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on TikTokFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on InstagramFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on YouTubewww.callaghancounselling.ieThe C.A.L.M Method If you want to be notified when Katie is running the next group - Join the Waitlist today Calmer parenting and a happier home and kids is so much closer than you thinkKatie McKennaAccredited Psychotherapist, Podcast Host, AuthorBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
