can you actually switch off?
This 60-second check-in for law enforcement professionals will help you to assess if The Off-Switch Protocol is right for you!
Think about how you typically feel after a shift, during your time off, or when the immediate pressure is gone. Check any that apply.
I’m physically tired, but my body still feels “on.”
I have a hard time fully relaxing after a stressful call or shift.
I stay alert to what’s happening around me, even when I’m off shift.
I can go from calm to highly activated very quickly—but coming back down takes longer.
I sometimes feel restless, irritable, impatient, or “keyed up” for no obvious reason.
I sleep, but I don't always feel like my body truly recovered.
I find it easier to stay busy than to actually slow down.
I can tell myself I'm fine, but my body feels different.
It’s probably obvious that the more boxes you checked, the more likely it is that your body has learned to stay ready, even when the shift is over.
The goal isn’t to be less alert.
It's to build the capacity to move between activation and recovery—so your nervous system can work hard when you need it to, and recover when you don't.
