This episode unpacks the nervous system logic behind the Survival Code—a clinical tool designed to identify adaptive roles we play under stress.
Today’s focus: when someone shifts from “The General” to “The Diplomat.”
💬 The General: fights for survival, sees others as threats.
💬 The Diplomat: seeks harmony, reads the room, keeps the peace.
➡️ And next? Maybe they become “The Operator”—functional, but detached.
This transition isn’t just behavioral—it’s neurological.
We talk about one patient’s shift and how understanding their mode moved therapy forward after years of failed attempts.
Therapy gets clearer when we stop labeling and start decoding.
