Survival Mode

Survival Mode is a psychological response activated when the body perceives a threat or danger, prompting it to prioritize immediate safety. This state triggers the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, sharpening focus and increasing energy to address the threat. While helpful in emergencies, prolonged survival mode can lead to fatigue, anxiety, and difficulty in managing daily tasks, as the body remains on high alert. It’s a natural defense mechanism designed to protect, but extended activation can impact overall well-being and emotional health.
