Frequently Asked Questions
I don't have a "reason" to be stuck, I just can't move. Why can't I explain it?
You are experiencing "Resistance Without Words." In the Meaning Density Model™, the Threat & Safety system operates at a "Pre-Verbal" level. It doesn't need a logical argument to stop you; it uses physical pressure or a "hollow" feeling. This non-verbal signal is a "Protective Protocol" designed to keep you regulated when your Narrative system is too busy to notice the load.
How do I handle resistance if I can't talk myself out of it?
Stop looking for "The Why." Instead, acknowledge the "Sensation." Say: "My system is providing a non-verbal stop signal." This validates the data without demanding a translation. In DojoWell, we believe that "Biological Respect"—honoring the signal even when it's silent—allows the tension to "un-clench" faster than a thousand logical arguments ever could.
