What False Models Are and Why They Matter
We grow up inside systems we never chose.
From childhood, we’re told what’s right, what’s strong, what’s respectful. But most of these lessons don’t come from truth.
They come from control.
Invisible Models are invisible rules that shape how we see ourselves and others. They look normal—sometimes even moral—on the surface. But underneath, they distort emotion and protect power, not people.
How They Work
- They reward obedience, not honesty.
- They confuse suppression with maturity.
- They disguise harm as protection or care.
These models don’t just live in governments or institutions. They live in families, classrooms, workplaces—even in our self-talk.
Why We Name Them
Naming these models makes invisible harm visible. It helps us recognize that what felt like personal failure was often just survival inside a false system.
Breaking them is not rebellion.
It’s repair.
