Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t make the internal pressure go away right now?
Then you "Acknowledge the Pressure Without Softening It." Sometimes the system is too "wound up" for immediate relief. In the model, we don't force relaxation; we simply witness the pressure. Naming it—"There is intense pressure present"—without demanding it change, actually reduces the "Secondary Pressure" of trying to fix yourself. This honest acknowledgment is a form of Structural Acceptance that prevents the loop from escalating.
Why is it helpful to stay with the pressure if it doesn't feel good?
Because "forcing relief" is just another Control Loop. By acknowledging the pressure as a current structural reality, you stop the internal war. This "non-resistance" allows the pressure to exist as a finite event. Eventually, as the Narrative system stops fighting the state, the nervous system registers that it is safe to begin the natural process of de-acceleration and settlement on its own time.
