Emotional Shock & Nervous System Recovery
Discover how emotional shock impacts your nervous system and how to recover.
When the System Hasn’t Reset Yet
Systems do not reset instantly.
Signals slow, responses lag, and readiness takes time to unwind.
This moment allows the pause between effort and reset to exist without correction.
Nothing is broken; nothing is behind.
The system is simply not finished settling yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I still "acting stressed" even though the deadline passed?
This is System Lag After Effort. The Threat & Status systems have a "cool-down period." In this model, we normalize the lag. You aren't "failing to relax"; your "software" is just catching up to your "hardware." Naming the lag prevents you from "judging the self" for not being immediately peaceful. It allows you to wait out the "echoes" of the stress with your Coherence intact, knowing that the "reset" is coming.
How do I shorten the lag?
You can't "force" a reset, but you can "Stop the In-flow." Reduce new triggers and "meta-monitoring." In the Meaning Density Model™, lag is increased by "trying to not have lag." By accepting that "I will feel revved-up for the next hour," you provide a "safety signal" that stops the loop from restarting. The lag ends when the Integrator finally registers enough "quiet data" to overwrite the "stress data."
