Being stuck in survival mode, or a fight flight freeze or fawn response, can cause you unnecessary anxiety and lead to overwhelming thoughts. This survival mode response can cause you and your body unnecessary stress and anxiety. Many of us learn to live in constant fight or flight due to societal pressures or perhaps childhood trauma or emotional neglect. Living with this trauma can lead us to feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed constantly, or perhaps your anxiety and stress can be easily triggered by small or large events that bring up a trauma response. The good news is that there are therapeutic approaches and therapy types that can help to work on this. But we must first recognize what it is, if we're doing it, why we're doing it, so that we can determine what type of help we need to stop living with constant anxiety and stress. Do you relate to this? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
