Frequently Asked Questions
Can my "need for control" be a good thing?
Yes. In the Meaning Density Model™, control is an Organizing Force. The "grip" is what allows you to maintain order and orientation in a complex environment. We reframe the grip not as a "flaw," but as your system's attempt to create a "stable landing pad" for meaning. When you see it as an organizing tool, you can stop fighting it. This acceptance reduces internal friction, making the control more efficient and less exhausting to maintain.
When does the "organizing force" become a problem?
It becomes a problem when it turns into an "endless adjustment loop". If the organizing never stops, the "landing" never happens. Use your grip to create enough order for safety, then intentionally "pause the precision". This allows the order you’ve created to actually be lived in. The goal of organization is to create a space where you can eventually "stop managing" and start "integrating."
