There is no MAX effect. That's not the point of no contact.
The point of going dark is to give you the space that you need to GAL, to detach, to not make things WORSE. She isn't going to come running back to you because you stop talking to her for a couple of days.
I'm glad to see that you've started looking into yourself. Now is the time to start doing the real mirror work. Who do you want to be? How can you become HIM? Going dark will give you the space that you need to do that kind of work.
