Removing the Mask: Survival Mode to Sustainable Performance

Removing the Mask

From Survival Mode to Sustainable Performance

Removing the Mask is a powerful learning experience for high-functioning professionals who look capable on the outside but feel stretched, reactive, disconnected, or depleted underneath.

​

This session explores how chronic stress, unprocessed experiences, and nervous-system overload can quietly shape behaviour, health, relationships, and performance — often without us realising.

Rather than framing burnout or stress as weakness, the work reframes these patterns as intelligent survival responses that may no longer be serving us.
