Definition

Fascial memory treats connective-tissue load as stored signal — posture, tension, and restriction as data, not character defect.

Origin

Somatic and fascia-informed practice (see Autonomous Intelligence of the Body) — body intelligence beyond head-only models.

Mechanism

Chronic bracing can persist after the narrative “resolves.” Interoceptive and movement reps may access what verbal analysis alone does not — titrate dose to avoid flood.

Applications

When insight is high but body still locks, add sensation-first reps before more strategy. Pair Interoception.
