Healing Survival Mode Through Past Life Regression

In this episode of Survival Mode Disrupted, Leticia sits down with Craig Harry, a hypnotherapist who works at the intersection of clinical hypnosis, past life regression, and spiritual healing. Craig started as a man of science—a lab tech who believed everything could be explained through logic and data—until a traumatic loss in his family cracked him open and forced him to ask: “Is there more to this than what we see?”

From there, his life turned into a 25-year exploration of:

  • What happens to us beyond the physical body
  • Why some wounds don’t respond to traditional talk therapy alone
  • And how unresolved trauma (from this life or possibly others) can keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode

He breaks down three levels of survival—physical, mental, and spiritual—and shares how healing only one layer often leaves us confused, frustrated, and still triggered.

🎙️ What We Talk About

  • Craig’s shift from science-only lab tech to spiritual hypnotherapist after losing a family member
  • The “three levels of survival mode”: body, mind, and soul—and what happens when they’re out of balance
  • How past life regression and current life regression can reveal the root of fears and phobias that don’t logically “fit” your story
  • The client who couldn’t stand being touched by men—and the buried teenage trauma that her mind had completely blocked out
  • The “amnesia bandaid”: what happens when your brain protects you by forgetting the event, but your body never does
  • Craig’s 5-step process: identify → digest → process → release → heal
  • Why memories don’t come with timestamps—and why something that happened years ago can still feel emotionally “five minutes old”
  • The five stages of grief (denial, anger, negotiation, depression, acceptance) and how they show up beyond death—divorce, lost careers, identity shifts, and the “death” of the survival self
  • Anger as a tool instead of a problem: how rage can become the doorway to movement, boundaries, and change
  • The difference between “cure” and “management” when it comes to trauma and grief—why “fully healed” isn’t the goal, but living with power is


🔑 Key Takeaways

“It’s no good healing the body if you don’t heal the mind—and it’s no good healing the mind if you have a broken soul.”
“If you don’t know where the wound came from, your mind can’t digest it. And if you can’t digest it, you can’t release it.”
“Anger is a hammer. You can use it to build or you can use it to destroy.”
“Grief is managed, not cured. Acceptance doesn’t mean agreement—it means you stop pretending it didn’t happen.”

About the Podcast

Survival Mode Disrupted with Leticia R Francis
Disruptive Unapologetic Conversations about Survival Mode
Survival Mode Disrupted is not just a podcast. It's a rebellion.

A raw, unfiltered space where we finally stop pretending we're fine and start telling the truth—the truth about the trauma we've carried, the identities they had to wear to survive, and the radical decisions we made to break free.

Because here's the deal: survival mode isn’t just a season. It’s a damn identity. One that so many were forced to adopt just to get through life, to stay safe, to stay needed, to stay sane. But eventually, it starts costing you more than it protects. Your peace. Your purpose. Your power.

This podcast is for the disruptors—the people who were told to stay small, stay silent, stay grateful for crumbs… and said “hell no.”

Hosted by Leticia, The Survival Mode Disruptor herself—a trauma recovery mentor, speaker, and woman who has lived through the fires of abuse, betrayal, and breakdown and still chose to rise—this show dives deep into the unapologetic exits from survival mode that no one talks about.

You’ll hear from women (and a few brave men) who walked away from toxic relationships, soul-sucking careers, generational dysfunction, religious trauma, cultural expectations, and the lies they were taught to believe about themselves. Not because it was easy—but because staying would’ve killed something sacred inside of them.

These are the stories of bold pivots, quiet courage, and messy but miraculous rebirths.

Each episode is a conversation—a disruption—meant to wake something up in you. Whether it’s a guest sharing the moment they chose themselves for the first time, or Leticia dropping a truth bomb that makes you question everything you’ve normalized, this podcast is here to shake the foundation of your survival mode identity and replace it with something truer. Something freer.

We’re not here for surface-level self-care tips or fake empowerment slogans.

We’re here to talk about what it really takes to:

Reclaim your voice after being silenced.

Reinvent yourself after being broken down.

Rewrite your story when everyone else wants you to stay the same.

Release the guilt of choosing YOU.

This is for those who are done performing. Done pleasing. Done pretending.

It’s for the ones ready to exit survival mode—not slowly, not quietly, but disruptively and unapologetically.

You won’t leave this podcast the same.
You’ll cry. You’ll rage. You’ll laugh.
You’ll see yourself in every story.
And more importantly, you’ll remember who the hell you are.

Welcome to Survival Mode Disrupted.
It’s not just a podcast.
It’s a movement.
And your exit begins here.
