Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when I feel "trapped" in my own head?
This is Cognitive Stuckness. It feels like a "brace" in your mind where thoughts are circling but not landing. Naming it gently—"I am currently in a stuck loop"—reduces the panic. In this model, "stuckness" is a sign that your integrator is overloaded. By acknowledging the state, you stop fighting it, which reduces the metabolic friction and allows the "stuckness" to eventually thaw into a more fluid presence.
How do I get "unstuck"?
You shift your orientation to the "Physical Front." Instead of trying to think your way out, focus on a simple physical fact—your breath, your feet, or a sound. This provides a "non-cognitive" landing. By moving your attention away from the "stuck" thoughts, you starve the loop of energy. The Meaning Density Model™ teaches that the "way out" is usually "down" into the body, where the Threat system can finally register a safety signal.
