When our brain perceives danger, survival mode kicks in, characterized by heightened arousal and awareness. Stressors like burnout, trauma, and pandemics can trigger this state, leading to chronic stress and exhaustion. Being in survival mode for extended periods alters brain function, impacting memory, decision-making, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Understanding how to recognize and exit survival mode is crucial for achieving a sense of safety and emotional balance.
