10 Signs You're Stuck In Survival Mode (And How To Get Unstuck)

Do you feel constantly on edge, wired but exhausted, or like you’re just going through the motions of life? You might be stuck in survival mode—and not even know it.

In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, we’ll unpack what it means to have a dysregulated nervous system and how it can silently shape your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even your physical health. We’ll walk through 10 often-overlooked signs that your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode—from chronic tension and trouble sleeping to overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing.

You’ll also learn three simple, science-backed strategies to start bringing your system back to a place of safety and resilience. These aren’t your typical “self-care” tips—they’re practical, body-based tools you can use anytime, anywhere.

✨ Plus, there’s a special invitation to join the Nervous System Journaling Club on the Skool platform—a supportive community rooted in connection, creativity, and healing.
