OVER-RESTIMULATION

The condition of having in re-stimulation more charge than one can easily handle, accompanied by a feeling or conviction of being overwhelmed. OVERT ACT (Overt): Harmful or contra-survival act to one or more of the dynamics. A person commits an overt act because they cannot have something. An act the being committing it would not want to receive themselves. Precisely, it is an act of commission or omission that harms the greater number of dynamics. The basis of all overt acts is the misunderstood word, concept, or symbol, ultimately in every case.

Usage

A preclear in over-restimulation has more charge stirred up than they can easily handle, often accompanied by a feeling of being overwhelmed. An auditor recognizing this condition would take steps to reduce the charge rather than continue running processes that add to it.

Why It Matters

Over-restimulation is an important condition for an auditor to recognize and address, as continuing to audit through it can worsen the preclear's state rather than improve it. Proper handling ensures the person can process what has been restimulated before moving forward.
