Visceral Encounter

The moment the scaffolding you built to survive—collapses.

And underneath?
The hard truth:
You’ve been at war with yourself for a long time.

This is the visceral encounter.
With yourself.

This isn’t self-help.
It’s self-confrontation.

You can’t force that moment.
But you can train for it.

You can build the capacity to stay—
To breathe through the burn of remembering
without abandoning yourself.

To let the collapse come,
and know it’s not the end of you.
It’s the beginning.

The threshold.
When the scaffolding falls away—
the survival strategies, the coping mechanisms,
the false identity that got you through, but never brought you home.

It’s terrifying and holy.
And it’s the only way through.

No longer dragging your body through a life that doesn’t feel like yours.
No longer living from the architecture of fear.

Feeling your life in real time—
instead of the residue of the past shaping you.

This is the portal.
To presence.
