Part of this post was a response I wrote to an individual who is having issues with Qv2. We’ve received quite a few support tickets regarding this and while we acknowledge that Qv2 isn’t as “smooth” as Qv1 (because it didn’t work as well), the individual we had to part ways with spread a lot of misinformation that’s still causing havoc.
That individual kept claiming that the recon was actually “resistance” in response to the questioning nature of our scripting method, and that “resistance” would occur if you didn’t provide the script with an answer by taking action. Thus, if you ran something like Primal Seduction, but you weren’t around women, you’d feel “resistance” unless you were around women and taking women, which provided the script with an “answer.”
It’s an interesting theory, but that’s not what’s happening. Take a look at my response to the ticket:
In Qv1 (and earlier builds), the standard script that went into every sub included a very broad, generic healing script that ended up taking precedence over the core scripting — the scripting that actually pertained to the title. That core scripting ALSO contains healing, but instead of “broad healing,” it was very focused and targeted to help you overcome any issues preventing you from executing the core scripting.
So, depending on how long you’ve been a customer, you’ve been getting hit with that same “broad” scripting for quite some time and considering the fact that it took precedence over the core scripting, it acted as a “buffer” against the core scripting — too well in most cases, as people weren’t getting the results they wanted. They observed great change, but not necessarily in the direction they wanted, as directed by their stack.
When we removed that healing script, now you’re getting the full-force brunt of the core scripting, which throws people for a loop because these are powerful programs that can initiate incredible change. This is why you’re experiencing recon — you’re now being exposed to the core scripting without anything “buffering” it.
Qv2 is NOT broken, and even though it seems like you can’t get this recon under control, you most definitely can. I’m running an Ultima build (which, make no mistake, is based on Qv2) with 20 modules that all target my weaknesses and I’m getting amazing results. Here’s some tips that can turn things around:
-
Most people have a “recon” cycle and they aren’t aware of it. What I mean by this is, your reconciliation follows a distinct pattern, and if you can figure this pattern out, you can minimize how much you have to actually experience by sleeping through it. Not to mention, sleeping helps your mind process whatever’s causing the recon. So, if you normally run your loops during the day, and you realize the recon starts a few hours after, time listening to the loops later in the afternoon so you’re asleep when the recon starts.
-
Try a “breakthrough” loop. What I mean by this is, if you listen to a loop on Monday, and the recon starts up on Tuesday, try listening to half a loop to gently apply pressure to the subconscious to help you get through the reconciliation. It sounds a bit backward, but it does work. Ask on the forum — some people going through washouts will report bad recon (since the mind is now in “execute” mode) that will resolve when they listen to a single breakthrough loop. This actually happened to me yesterday with Until the End of Time, my custom. I was doing a washout for a few days because I had to meet up with family and didn’t want to be in recon and ended up triggering just that. I listened to a single loop and instantly felt relief.
-
Do a washout. Washouts can really suck, because your mind is in pure execution mode and you can end up in reconciliation, but as we keep telling people — rest days are important with Qv2. For me, washout recon lasts 2-3 weeks and after that, I feel amazing.
-
Try stacking with Sanguine, Love Bomb, or another title that makes you feel really good to help offset feelings of recon.
-
And of course, make sure you’re getting really good sleep (talk to a medical professional about valerian root or melatonin) and that you’re eating well.
-
Offline journal. Write in it every time you feel bad. Consider your offline journal sacred. What I mean is, NEVER let anyone read it. PERIOD. That way, you can just write in a stream of consciousness and let off emotional steam.
