Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my internal state seem to rise and fall even when nothing is happening?
These are "Quiet Oscillations." Your neurochemistry is not a static line; it is a wave of rising and falling arousal. Because these shifts are often subtle and "unannounced," we tend to overlook them or misinterpret them as mood swings. Naming these internal waves helps you realize that your experience is being shaped by biological rhythms. This recognition allows you to ride the waves of your day with much less internal friction.
How does naming these quiet rises and falls help my regulation?
It removes the "why" pressure. When you feel a sudden dip or rise, the Narrative system often tries to find a reason or a problem to solve. By attributing the shift to "structural oscillation," you stop the search for external causes. This prevents the creation of unnecessary Threat Loops and allows your system to move through its natural cycles without the added weight of an emotional narrative.
