Frequently Asked Questions
I feel so different now; is the "old me" just gone forever?
No. This is "When Past and Present Still Touch." Your identity is a Contiguous Thread. The person you were as a child is the same "Integrator" that is here now. Bridging these versions of yourself restores Narrative Integrity. You aren't "new"; you are "updated." Recognizing the touchpoints between your past and present prevents the "Identity Gaps" that lead to feelings of unreality and dissociation.
How do I find the "touchpoints" between my past and present?
Look for the Continuity of Preference. What did you love as a child that still resonates now? A certain color, a way of moving, a specific type of quiet? These "Identity Constants" are the bridges. By honoring these small, persistent parts of yourself, you prove to your Narrative system that you are a single, unbroken story, providing the safety needed for long-term coherence.
