Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not ready to go back to my "old life," but I’m okay watching others do it. Is that okay?
Yes. This is "standing near experience." Re-entry doesn't have to be immersion; it can start with proximity. In the Meaning Density Model™, watching life from a close distance is a way to "test the waters" without overwhelming your integrator. You are building trust by seeing that life can happen without causing you harm. This "proximity phase" is a vital structural boundary that allows you to participate on your own terms until you are ready for full immersion.
How does "standing near" help me return to my own life eventually?
It allows for "passive integration." You are collecting data on how life feels without the pressure of having to "perform" in it yet. Your Narrative & Identity system is watching, learning, and realizing that the "world of triggers" is becoming a "world of completions." By not forcing yourself "inside" before you are ready, you ensure that when you do fully rejoin, you have the "Meaning Density" required to stay there. Proximity is the bridge to participation.
