Encourage Encounter LLC What is Stuck? You know the answer even if it's unexplainable. The core of nuisance, stress, frustration, torment, ToDos, even of joy, is Stuck?

Sometimes, we laugh uncontrollably. A moment later, we laugh again. Then we laugh at laughing. We are stuck as we continue to giggle and snigger. Soon we recover our composure.

Instead of laughter, what if the experience causes distress? What if the memory of distress causes distress? What if cannot regain our composure?

Laughter is joyful, and we won't stifle it. But we will inhibit difficult memories and turn away from painful encounters. We defend against the distress. And get stuck.

Stuck? can feel like indecision, frustration or anxiety. It shows up as ToDos or expectations put on others. It makes us feel clueless, like we should know better.

We think we might want to move, but part of us remembers the distress and fears reliving the memories. We might speak the command - move - but go nowhere.

How do we get unstuck? We encourage. We encounter. Then we Move!
