Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay that my body seems to be choosing "neutral" even when I want to feel more?
Yes. Neutrality is the "middle ground" of the nervous system, where balance is restored. Sometimes, the body "chooses" neutral on its own because it recognizes that you need a period of zero-demand. This state has its own dignity. By accepting your body's choice of neutral, you stop the "Self-Judgment Loop" and align your Narrative system with your biological reality. This alignment is the first step toward true, long-term regulation.
How does being neutral restore my "dignity"?
Dignity comes from agency—the ability to exist as you are without having to "perform" an emotion for the world. When you allow yourself to be neutral, you are no longer a slave to the Status & Control system's demand that you look "happy" or "engaged." You are asserting that your internal state is valid regardless of external expectations. This quiet self-possession is the foundation of a resilient and dignified identity.
