Canon

•
The body knows when you are out of integrity before the mind does — physical symptoms (insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety) are often signals of misalignment between true self and performed self
Beck argues that the body is a truth-detector: when you are living out of integrity (performing a false self), the body produces symptoms — insomnia, chronic pain, digestive problems, anxiety — that signal misalignment before the conscious mind acknowledges it.

Highlights

•
Integrity is not about morality — it is about structural wholeness. A person out of integrity is like a bridge with a crack: functional for now, but under increasing structural stress
Beck redefines integrity: it is not a moral concept (being honest and ethical) but a structural one (being whole and integrated). A person out of integrity has a gap between who they are (true self) and how they live (performed self). This gap creates stress that eventually breaks something.
