Survival trance is a common experience. It happens automatically when we are in a traumatic situation and cannot run or fight. Instead, a part of us shuts down and goes into a type of inner trance. If it stays in us, it can affect our mental, emotional, and physical wellness for decades. The good news is-this is reversible. Your nervous system initiated the survival trance when you needed it. It can also deactivate it. This book will show you how.

In Part One, you'll learn what a survival trance is and the deep healing levels of your mind that are designed to release it. I've also included stories of people who have deactivated their survival trances using the Self-Rescue Interventions in this book.

Part Two offers three ways to deactivate your survival trance. Each is based on when the incident happened. Did it just happen? Has it been a few weeks or months? Or did it happen years ago?

No matter when the trauma happened, your intelligent body dutifully holds the emotion for you, awaiting your permission to let it go.
