Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel so tired when "nothing happened" today?
You are Carrying More Than You Realized. In this model, emotional load isn't just about events; it's about the "background processes" your brain is running. You may be carrying "invisible loops" regarding future security or past social interactions. Surfacing this accumulation without judgment allows the Integrator to acknowledge the metabolic cost, turning "shame" into a "logistical adjustment."
How do I see what I'm actually carrying?
You look for the "Background Tension." Don't look for "reasons"; look for "weight." In the Meaning Density Model™, we use "Somatic Auditing." If your shoulders are high or your breath is shallow, you are carrying load. Acknowledging this "unseen cargo" is the first step in deciding what can finally be set down or delegated to the environment.
