Frequently Asked Questions

How do I hold my "darker" truths without feeling like a bad person?

You "Carry Multiple Truths Gently." You might have the truth "I love my family" and the truth "I feel trapped by my responsibilities." Carrying them "gently" means you don't let them collide in a "war of guilt." You acknowledge both as valid signals from different internal systems. This Gentle Carriage reduces the "strain" on your nervous system and prevents the "Moral Collapse" that leads to burnout.

Does carrying these truths "gently" mean I'm being lazy?

No, it means you are being Sustainable. "Hard" carriage (guilt and pressure) is a High-Velocity Loop that leads to exhaustion. "Gentle" carriage is Low-Velocity Wisdom. It allows you to address your "darker truths" with compassion and agency, leading to actual structural changes rather than just more "suffering for the sake of suffering."
