hahaha okay
I donāt feel itās overload but maybe thatās the recon talking
I think I get headaches if Iām not drinking enough water or giving myself enough rest. Not just physical rest but the other types too.
Hereās how I deal easily with the recon I get on WB and DR:LD:
To amend recon try to do something to get more align with the scripting (socialize, for example) and avoid doing things that are in its opposition like looking for isolation, for example.
The rule behind it is:
When recon hits, fake it (try to mimic what the scripting is supposed to accomplish) till you make it.
Itās enough to stop listening to the insecurity thoughts caused by the recon and set your intention on feeling into your new role (your sub wants you to align with) and playing it for a minute or two. Then it gets effortless. Yet you still need to mind (monitor) those thoughts coming back periodically and act accordingly to get rid of them in the way described above.
Setting your intent on feeling into the role (your sub wants you to play) and acting accordingly not only helps resolve recon but it also amplifies the results. The whole thing is about fighting off the insecurity thoughts stemming from recon this way and allowing yourself to be led by that persona (your sub is instilling in you).
I second this. The challenge however is once we go back to down time, say at night, it comes back; least for me.
Iām lucky that I live with my gf though, which helps.

I rewrote what SC recommends when using DR:LD but that applies to recon as well.
- Take Decisive Action to Overcome Recon: Many individuals succumb to recon and donāt take the necessary steps to overcome it and help the scripting create their new reality. To truly transcend to the new reality, itās vital to take decisive action to overcome recon. This means not just identifying it but actively seeking ways to overcome it. Whether itās socializing, getting into work flow, or simply setting your intention on playing the persona the sub is instilling in you, taking action is often the difference between unpleasant experience (recon) and the fluid execution of the scripting. Understand that taking action to overcome recon might involve facing fears and uncertainties, but itās an essential step in breaking the chains of limitation/issues that are conflicting with the scripting and cause recon.
Can reconciliation manifest itself as strange and āmacabreā dreams? ( Iām using Genesi + Dragon Reborn: Limit Destroyer)
I deal with recon by acting as if it wasnāt there (so I go on with my daily habits & schedule as usual) and in a few hours, it goes away. I try not to fuel any negative thinking/emotions as much as I possibly can by dipping those thoughts/emotions in my imagined āsea of love/acceptanceā installed in myself.
For me recon can come in different forms. When itās from over use/too much play time itās typically extremely disorienting, and spacey. Typically just need to workout or expend some energy in some way.
When itās something with the title I struggle with, which I get very rarely now as Iāve been using sub club for about 5 years, itās in the form of extremely intense emotional swings and outbreaks. Iāve really only experienced this with healing titles, like Khan 1 or CFW. The only thing I found to really help here is smoking weed, chilling out and getting the serotonin boost, and maybe just passing time with Netflix or playing video games.
I have found that Genesis has helped me a lot with this.
Genesis helps in giving me that polite, gentle and optimistic push to action when otherwise recon would cause me to be paralized or revert back into old coping mechanism.
Any program that contains this gentle healing scripting that helps you during the recon phase is the absolute key in my experience and opinion.
If I am correct, the gentle healing in Wanted Black also works in a similar way where you donāt just passively endure the recon and hope for the best, but where you continue to be healed despite being in the recon phase and being healed as a result of the recon process itself
My current solution to dealing with recon is to simply make only 3-5 minute loops max. And then take normal rest days and wash-outs. Especially on Wanted Black and Khan Black 1, otherwise the recon is the most hardcore I have ever felt. But with the short loops it helps a lot.
And if the recon still hits me emotionally hard, then basically doing what @Skadoosh recommended and just completely surrendering to the negative emotions, feeling them and letting them all be released through my system.
My personal och experiance with recon is feeling overwhelemd by thoughts and emotions i get easily distracted⦠and i tend to buy dumb **** which i dont really need. I become too focused for self-gratification
I can attest to that as well. Hence the junk food which helps.
Nowadays, I deal with recon by subliminal reinforcement that is running another loop. However, DR:LD is the only sub that causes some recon in me. WB and KBC not at all. For that reason I run DR:LD at weekends only, when I donāt have to socialize as Iām a teacher.
No harm in experimenting.
Worked for me to taking the edge off. A nice carb load and then sleep.
Think our Brains and bodies need extra fuel or something during recon
I donāt even remember recommending that, lmao.
But thatās a very good practice, you never want to suppress or distract from negative emotions. The worst thing is to hold them in.
I have had spurs of heavy recon from big shifts and they are easily managed.
If I have any type of subconscious anxiety, recon, frustration, etc going on⦠I pretty much shut off any external stimulus (phones, laptops, etc) and sit still. This forces you to face things and move along through the tunnel. While sitting, I give myself self-compassion.
I progress like 50x faster, no joke. Hahaha.
Milk, lmao. I havenāt heard that one beforeā¦
Itās challenging in the moment obviously, but every time after recon I look back and Iām glad I went through it.
Recon is a sign of developing new areas that are required to grow in order for you to manifest into the person you envision.
Yes, this was with Dragon Reborn. I go after milk, cashew nuts, fruit cocktails. I think recon is an alternative version of breaking the comfort zone.
My usual approach to recon was aggressively feeling the energy of resistance through out my body. But, just yesterday I found the best way to tackle it through Acceptance - complete absolute acceptance. If we resist recon or negative situations, those situations may manifest (not anymore due to new tech probably) and recon will still persist. Instead, if we accept it seemed to lessen the recon way much and speed up deep internal changes. Basically, the idea is not to fight recon, but completely accept it and then aim towards your ideal self/goal/reality.
Yes, acceptance can even offer clues as to why specific thoughts keep coming up.
