Emotional Shock & Nervous System Recovery
Discover how emotional shock impacts your nervous system and how to recover.
When Recovery Hasn’t Begun Yet
Recovery has not started yet, and nothing is wrong.
This moment exists between effort and restoration, where neither state has fully arrived.
The system is neither pushing nor repairing.
This window legitimizes the in-between as its own condition, not something that needs to be hurried through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I feel "recovered" the second I sit down?
Because Recovery Hasn’t Begun Yet. There is a "transition zone" between stopping and recovering. Your system is still in "de-escalation mode." Normalizing this "in-between" prevents you from panicking because you don't feel "refreshed" immediately. You are currently in the "cooldown," which is a necessary biological step before the actual "rebuilding" of energy can occur.
How long is the "in-between"?
It varies by the "Velocity of the Push." In the Meaning Density Model™, we don't time the recovery; we "Watch the Lag". By accepting that "I am not in recovery yet, I am just stopping," you remove the Status-pressure to feel better. This acceptance actually allows the recovery phase to trigger sooner, as it removes the "interference" of your own expectations.
