Survival Mode - we hear about it but aren't sure if we're in it.  Survival mode is a trauma response.

Many people are living in survival mode. The anxious state that is overwhelmed and cannot be present or av...

The final episode of season 4 brings you to contemplate how you fill your life and stay attached to your to-do lists/obligations as a survival mechanism rather than using the space in-between to access the flow state.
