Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not ready to stop being in control?
Then you don't stop. This is Acknowledging Safety Through Control Without Dismantling It. In this model, we close the "depth band" (the current focus on control) by validating it as your current best option. You don't have to "dismantle" your defenses to be healthy; you just have to "know" they are there. This awareness creates a "dual-awareness" that is the first step of recovery. You are safe because of your control, and that is a valid place to stand for now.
Will I be stuck in control forever?
Not if you keep building meaning density. By using your control to create a "safe enough" space, you provide the environment your Narrative system needs to integrate past experiences. As integration happens, your "structural core" strengthens. Eventually, you will naturally feel "upright" without the brace of control. But for today, respect the brace. It is doing its job of keeping you coherent and present.
