How to help your team break out of collective chronic stress response

Our startup team has been in crunch mode for eight months and we're all running on fumes, but every time someone suggests we slow down or take breaks, the group anxiety kicks in and we convince ourselves we can't afford to stop. We're stuck in this collective fight-or-flight that's making us less effective but we don't know how to step off the hamster wheel together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group has become trapped in a shared hypervigilant state that feeds on itself and resists the very interventions that would restore capacity.
