Frequently Asked Questions

I keep trying to "fix" the hollow feeling. Should I stop?

Yes. We are introducing "Neutral Witnessing." Naming the hollowness "wrong" is what makes it painful. If a cave is hollow, we don't say the cave is "broken." We just say it’s a cave. By "Watching the Hollowness" as a Mechanical Feature of your current state, you remove the Internal Friction. It is just "unoccupied space."

What happens if I stop trying to "fix" it?

The Threat Signal turns off. When you stop "fighting" the hollow, it stops "pulling" at you. It becomes a "Quiet Background" rather than a "Noisy Crisis." This allows you to use your energy for Actual Living (walking, eating, working) rather than for "Internal Repair." You find that you can be "hollow and functional" quite easily.
