Ep. 81 - Why You're Still Stuck in Survival Mode with Coach Keith

Why can a woman love God, know Scripture, and do all the "right" things yet still feel stuck in survival mode?

In this episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with Coach Keith Dorscht, a marriage and relationship coach with 30 years of experience, to explore the powerful connection between faith, the brain, the nervous system, and emotional healing.

Together, they unpack why knowing the truth doesn't always change how a person feels, how past experiences shape relationships and patterns, and why emotional maturity and joy are essential to lasting transformation.

They also explore how the brain and nervous system reflect God's design for relationship, why healing takes more than simply trying harder, and how deeper connection can help people move from disconnection and survival into greater peace, freedom, and joy.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why faith alone doesn't mean the nervous system automatically feels safe

How past experiences shape present-day patterns and relationships

The connection between emotional maturity, nervous system regulation, and joy

Why people can know the truth but still struggle to experience it

How connection and relationship can support healing and transformation

How to move beyond survival mode and begin experiencing greater freedom

If you've ever wondered why you're still struggling with something you thought you'd already overcome, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on healing that honors both the brain God created and the faith that anchors you.
