Why Growth Feels Impossible Sometimes
LET’S GROW
One of the things I worked on often in therapy was getting out of "survival mode." I could conceptually understand the idea, but I never really understood what I was supposed to do about it.

If survival mode were a vacation destination, I'd be all vacationed out.

Then my therapist introduced me to I love a good visual, and this one immediately clicked with me. Later on, though, I found myself expanding on the metaphor in a way that made even more sense for my own life.

What I like about this concept is that it lays out many of the core needs we have as humans.
