Is Your System Stuck in Survival Mode?

When a system is stuck in survival mode, its main focus is simply to get out of danger.

It’s a system that perceives most experiences as dangerous or threatening. It takes a significant amount of energy to be in this state. A huge amount of life force.

This often results in a system that is energetically, emotionally, and minerally depleted. A system that isn’t supported enough to step out of the survival state and begin to bring back balance.

What Does a System Stuck in Survival Look Like?

Shutdown:
Disconnected from oneself, others, and life.

Dissociation:
Detached from the body, emotions, connection, and reality.

Digestive Issues:
Unable to digest food properly due to the body prioritising the fight-or-flight response over digestion. A shutdown system struggles to process and integrate life experiences, leaving it 'unable to digest life'.

Fight-or-Flight Loop:
Trapped in a continuous cycle of heightened nervous system activity, making it difficult to achieve deep rest and resulting in poor sleep quality.

Lack of Appetite:
No hunger upon waking or a complete lack of appetite, as the body prioritises perceived danger over food intake.

Poor Concentration:
Difficulty focusing and a general lack of presence in the moment.

Reactivity:
Being reactive instead of responsive, displaying edginess and aggression towards others.

Hormonal Imbalances:
Issues with the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and bleeding.

Anxiety:
Experiencing anxiety in the pit of the stomach or a jittery feeling.

Repetitive Cycles:
Stuck in repetitive cycles of experiences, stories, and emotional wounds.
