Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel like a totally different person on Tuesday than I did on Monday?
You are "Normalizing Shifting Leadership." Different parts of you take the "lead" depending on your environment and energy levels. On Monday, your "Achiever" might have been leading; on Tuesday, your "Restorer" took over. This is healthy Diversity Within the Self. Recognizing this prevents "Identity Panic." You are the same person; you are just being led by a different internal department today.
How do I maintain a consistent life if my "leads" keep shifting?
You rely on the Integrator—the core "You" that watches the leaders change. While the "Achiever" or "Restorer" might set the tone for the hour, the Integrator maintains the long-term Narrative Coherence. By acknowledging who is "leading" right now, you can manage their impulses without letting them "hijack" your entire life direction. Consistency comes from the observer, not the part.
