Summary: yet another "explain this one"

After following the long discussion about the TARDIS's power source,
I wondered how one might explain the way The Doctor reacts to time
fields.  In at least two episodes, namely "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"
and "City of Death," The Doctor (and in the latter Romana) is (are)
exposed to time fields produced by others tinkering with time.  In
both episodes, the Doctor is affected differently than the surrounding
humans (and seemingly the rest of nearby space).  In both episodes it
is stated that it's because he's (and she's) a Time Lord.

If we call this difference "resistance" (for lack of a better word), then
my question becomes, "Why are Time Lords resistant to time fields?"
What is the source of the resistance?  It can hardly be energy coming
from Gallifrey...
