Frequently Asked Questions
Why shouldn't I try to "resolve" my attachment strain?
Resolution is often a "pursuit loop" that demands a "fix" for a state that is actually a "process." In the Meaning Density Model™, attachment strain is the "depth band" where identity updates. If you "resolve" it prematurely—by either cutting the connection or forcing closeness—you lose the opportunity for deep integration. Naming the strain "without resolution" allows the loop to stay open safely, providing the time needed for the nervous system to find a new, more coherent way of being in the relationship.
What happens when I stop trying to resolve the strain?
Your system moves from "fixing" to "witnessing." This shift closes the "urgency loop" of the Threat system. When the pressure to "fix" the relationship is removed, the nervous system can finally return to its baseline. Paradoxically, this state of "non-resolution" is often when the most profound "settlement" occurs. You land in the reality of the relationship as it is, which is the only place where true meaning density and structural recovery can begin.
