Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel a "reflex" to fix everything about myself?
This is the "Fix-it Reflex," a byproduct of the Status & Control system trying to maintain a perfect narrative. It views every flaw as a threat to safety. Removing this reflex supports radical self-acceptance. When you decide that "nothing needs correction" in this moment, you signal to your Threat system that you are not in a state of emergency. This structural safety is what allows the body to finally relax into a restorative state.
How do I stop the "fix-it" reflex when I notice it?
Name it: "This is a structural reflex, not a moral command." By labeling the urge to fix as a mechanical function of the brain, you create a gap between the impulse and the action. You don't have to follow the reflex. In that gap, you can choose to stay with yourself exactly as you are. This "non-correction" is the highest form of self-care in the Meaning Density Model™.
