Entry – Stillness tolerance

Low stimulation is not a problem to solve: gaps, neutral moments, and attention that isn’t being pulled.


Recognition – Crave–crash loop

Noticing the oscillation: wanting returns early, satisfaction fades fast, and the “top-up” urge appears again.


Depth – Desensitization

When intensity stops registering: the gradual dimming, muted response, and the body choosing neutral.


Settling – Sensory quiet

When the world feels less loud: quiet arriving without announcement, gaps between sounds, and low signal that is enough.
