About this listen
This episode explains how survival mode is a nervous system response learned from unsafe or unpredictable experiences, not a personal flaw.
It describes common signs—constant alertness, trouble resting, guilt when not productive—and acknowledges survival mode kept you safe.
The host offers gentle steps toward leaving survival mode: noticing tension, breathing before reacting, allowing rest without earning it, and choosing safety over familiarity.
The overall message: be patient and kind with yourself—survival mode is a chapter, not your identity, and healing happens slowly.
