Survival mode is not living with Jenny Field ep103

When you’re in survival mode, you’re not living, you’re coping. In this powerful episode, Jenny Field, Self-Belief Coach, shares how survival mode keeps your body and mind locked in protection, and why feeling calm can seem unsafe when chaos has always been familiar.

Key Points Covered:

Recognising survival mode
Nervous system responses
Subconscious safety beliefs
