When You Have Lived Your Life in Survival Mode.

This video really touched everything I’ve been experiencing. Thank you so much for this

I spent my whole life in survival mode. I just came cross your video. I'm coming into my healing state. This is the first time I booked a trip for myself. Trying to live is my biggest goal for 2024. I'm starting to feel more peace but every once in a while i still find myself back in the state of survival mode. I have to walk on egg shells with my parents. This is one of the hardest journey ever. I procrastinate in college but im pushing through.

One comforting thing for me is to listen to womb sounds

Really great video. I hope your channel grows immensely. This was so valuable and you are very insightful

I appreciate this video❤

Thank you for the video, I found this very helpful. I am learning how to calm my nervous system and feel safe, I believe I will get there soon!

❤❤Why are there so many negative stigmas against plp who have been in survival mode ?

Wow! My trauma therapist has helped me so much but this is a new discovery for me regarding why I need constant distraction, constant means of stimulation going at once, the need to be a multitasker daily as a nurse and mom. My overeating,, oversleeping since childhood, reading three or more books at a time, all related to decades of covert trauma. My HRV at age 48 is dangerously low. The path to healing is a challenging one, but I had to cut contact w toxic family of origin because my teenage daughters need me to be healthy in order to give them all of the emotional support and unconditional love they need to grow & become happy, healthy adults. #1 priority!! ♥️ Thank you for educating ~ survivors need this!

Dear God, I know I need to talk with a therapist 2024.... hearing all this is so relateable for me.

Hi do you think you can make calls outside of USA ,Im in south africa?

Northern GA - 57 still surviving state

How much do u charge?

I was even discharged from my therapist after two years, saying " we've done all we can for you here, you need a traained trama specialist...lol Didn't effect my abandonment issues at all...lol

Wow great video. Thank you 🙏 I have been suffering in suvival my whole life and recently retramatized multiple times in the past six years on top of childhood trama... I'm finding it hard to meet my basic needs and be financially independent. Fighting for years now for SSDI and afraid I may loose and become homeless again ..I am in constant fear and know I can't heal like this so feeling hopeless at times and can't find any real help or support due to no money so it seems only wealthy people get to heal... sadly

I was on board until she said that 1 day. She just snapped out of it and then I thought yet I'll just wait for that

I’ve noticed how survival mode is entrenched in every aspect of my life. I’ve been consciously aware of the
Chaos that ensues due to the lack of faith in a better future. Thank you for this explanation. Most content usually suggest saying affirmations of abundance but thaT has not worked for me

Im so glad I found you going through hell

where's the advice?

Thankyou for this video

Wow that was really helpful! I'm so glad I found your channel

Love love this !

This is awesome. This message came at the right time.

Thank you, Rachelle.

This Video is honey to my ears

A big part of survival mode that I learned that we really underestimate is food and nutrition

That's a subtle layer of trauma that is often REALLY POWERFUL both in harm if left undressed and benefit if gotten together

That's often why you may have people who didn't by any objective measure had a bad home environment BUT have trauma symptoms. It's often toxicity or malnutrition coming in

Do you take calls?

Also a healthy diet makes it easier to manage what you're talking about imo so your brain/gut microbiome isn't distracted fighting off endocrine blockers

Such an excellent explanation for this topic! 👍

Excellently conveyed. Thank you.

I had a therapist appointment and we talked about self-care and she gave me a list. As I was going over the list the only thing that popped into my mind was, "this is a waste of time." I was shocked and saddened that I thought caring for my self was a waste of time. Then it dawned on me that I don't want to "waste time" by doing those things because I'm trying to survive. 😭😭😭 Just one more day, just one more step, just one more week. I'm just becoming aware of what I use to escape, to disassociate and it's hitting me kind of hard. 😫

This is the best explanation of survival mode I have ever listened to. So helpful! Thank you!

I’ve been running, jumping and trying to survive my whole life. I started laughingly calling myself ‘The Goodbye Girl’… like the movie. I had to start to make light of things because I couldn’t deal with my reality. I have literally been trapped before and planned to jump a barbed wire fence in the night to escape. (No, I’ve never been to jail, but I’ve felt like I was in jail.). Sometimes I just revert to my childhood when I could laugh more… cause I can’t deal with the pain and shame. I read a meme one time that helped some. It said when a major issue comes up, just yell ‘plot twist!’ And change course. Depression medicine helps a lot, but they can’t increase my dose because I previously started having glitches with higher doses that made me start to stutter. All I could think of was tardive dyskinesia. I asked to doctor to give me just the minimum dosage otherwise I’d need a love-me jacket in a rubber room… cause I’d be crazy depressed if my reflexes were out of my control. Anyway, I’ve lived with a lot of anxiety for as long as I can remember. It’s gotten worse over the years until I’ve become close to being a hermit out of fear of the world and fear of me making any more major mistakes… I’m just stuck. And it’s affecting everything…my body is taking a lot of neglect presently. I’m just so very tired. I’m 56 years old and trying to find a reasonable way to rise up feel like I’m good enough for anything any longer. I’ve been escaping all these years and I’ve finally just stopped and feel the weight of it all crashing and crushing.

Very encouraging and hopefull video! Feels so empathic and makes you understand both yourself and others better

I was standing in my large pantry recently and had the realization that I have been in survival mode all these years. The pantry may or may not have anything to do with it, but it was a great visualization. I think mostly in fight mode which have given me great drive to prepare for the "future". While it sounds good, I think there was a hidden anxiety.

This is such great info!

Your explanation is spot on - Thank you

Why the nervous system can't disregulate themself naturaly? Why its must be pushstarted?
