Free Self-Assessment / Twenty-Four Questions / Instant Results
Am I In Survival Mode?
Twenty-four questions. Honest answers. A clear next step.
Survival mode is not a personality flaw. It is a nervous system doing its job under conditions that no longer require it. This therapist-written assessment gives you language for what your body has been signaling, a scored framework across body, mind, and relationships, and three real first steps that actually work.
Section One
How your body is living.
Check every statement that feels true more than half the time.
Section Two
How your thoughts are moving.
Survival mode is not just a feeling. It is a thought pattern.
Section Three
How you show up with people.
Survival mode reshapes how you love, trust, and protect yourself.
Take your time. Answer honestly. Your results are yours alone.

Where it is showing up
Your first three steps.
Healing is a sequence of small, specific decisions. Start here.
Name it out loud.
Say I am in survival mode to one safe person, or write it where you will see it. Language is the first release valve. Without it, survival mode feels like your personality instead of a state you are stuck in.
Give your body one signal a day.
Cold water on the wrists. A long exhale, twice as long as the inhale. Two minutes of looking at the horizon. Your nervous system does not care about big changes. It responds to consistent small ones.
Pick the tool that matches your pain point.
If the relationships section hit hardest, start with boundary work. If the body section hit hardest, start with nervous system regulation. If the mind section hit hardest, start with processing. Do not do all three at once.
What Comes Next

Breaking Free is the therapist-written book that picks up where this assessment ends. Why your nervous system learned survival in the first place, what it actually takes to rebuild, and how to live on the other side without losing yourself again.
