A 2-level atom with degenerate ground state interacting with a quantum field is investigated. We show, that the field drives the state of the atom to a stationary state, which is non-unique, but depends on the initial state of the system through some conserved quantities. This non-uniqueness follows from the degeneracy of the ground state of the atom, and when the ground subspace is two-dimensional, the family of stationary states will depend on a one-dimensional parameter. Only one of the stationary states in this family is a pure state, and this state coincides with the known non-coupled population trapped state (zero population in the excited level. Another one stationary state corresponds to an equal weight mixture of the excited level and of the coupled state.
