Thank you, Ibix. I think this was mainly a misunderstanding on my part due to informal language and visual intuition. I now see that thinking in terms of balancing forces isn’t appropriate in GR, and that the correct description involves geodesic focusing and defocusing. My confusion was really...

A region of negative energy density hints a little towards negative mass. So the throat of wormholes have very powerful attractive gravitational forces. So in order to stabilize a wormhole we think of using a region of negative energy to create a strong repulsive force that can keep the throat...
