    Predator vs Prey Mindset: Stress, Agency, and the Stories We Live In

    In this episode of The Workshop Therapy Podcast, we dive into the idea of the predator versus prey mindset and how it emerges in everyday life. What happens when stress, scarcity, or pressure push us into a reactive state? How do these mindsets shape our sense of agency, creativity, and connection to the world around us?

    We unpack how prolonged stress narrows perception and creates patterns that feel automatic. This is not about blame or toughness. It is about understanding how the nervous system responds, and how embodied competence, skill development, and sustained practice can shift us toward presence and choice.

    • What predator and prey mindsets mean in psychological and behavioural terms

    • How modern stress saturates our attention and decision making

    • Why reactivity often feels like the only option

    • The difference between resilience through control and resilience through capability

    • How hands-on skill and mastery can help regulate the nervous system

    • Practical strategies to notice when you are in a prey pattern and how to move toward agency

    Callie Russell is an ancestral living skills instructor, goat herder and wilderness practitioner who competed on Alone Season 7 and Alone: Frozen Season 1 on the History Channel. She lives nomadically in the Flathead Valley of Montana, sustained directly by the land since 2010 through foraging, animal husbandry, hide tanning, felting, basket weaving, plant medicine gathering and backcountry animal processing. Callie’s experience surviving 89 days in the Arctic on Alone Season 7 earned her a devoted following and a return to the spin-off Alone: Frozen, where she returned to challenge herself in a harsher climate. Her work focuses on helping others connect with the natural world, cultivate competence in fundamental skills, and rediscover the rhythms and teachings of wild places.
