Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to understand "why" something happened to move past it?
No. This is Integration Without Meaning-Making. We often think we need a "lesson" or a "reason" to close a loop. In this framework, integration is a biological event, not a philosophical one. Your nervous system can "update" to a new reality without your Narrative system ever finding a "satisfying explanation." De-linking the two prevents you from getting stuck in endless "Why?" loops.
Isn't meaning-making how we grow?
Meaning is the output of growth, not the engine. In the Meaning Density Model™, growth happens when the system integrates the "fact" of what happened. The "story" comes later. By allowing for "non-meaning integration," you allow your system to move forward even when life is nonsensical or unfair, preserving your Coherence in the face of chaos.
