Frequently Asked Questions
I noticed I’m avoiding my emails again. Now I feel like I need to "fix" myself. What’s the first step?
The first step is "Noticing the Turn Without Correcting It." In the Meaning Density Model™, "Awareness" does not require "Correction." If you immediately try to "fix" the avoidance, you add "Control Pressure," which only increases the Threat. Just say: "I notice I am turning away from my emails." This "Pure Observation" supports Regulation by closing the "Confusion Loop" without starting a "Conflict Loop."
If I don't "correct" it, won't I just keep avoiding?
Paradoxically, "Observation" is the most powerful correction. When you notice the turn without the "Pressure to Fix," the Safety system feels "Seen" and "Understood." This "Internal Validation" often lowers the "Threat Density" of the emails naturally. DojoWell teaches that "Seeing is enough for now." By staying with the "Noticing," you create the "Calm Space" where the "Want to engage" can eventually grow back on its own.
