Frequently Asked Questions

What is an "entry band" and how do I close it?

The "entry band" is the psychological space where we allow others to influence or "enter" our internal state. Closing it means you remain present but "non-porous." You are physically there, but you aren't "taking in" the emotional demands of the room. This is a safe, contained presence that protects your integration capacity. It allows you to fulfill social obligations without the "meaning debt" that comes from being emotionally intruded upon or overwhelmed.

How do I remain present without intruding on others?

You respect their "entry band" by not pushing for deep engagement. You offer a "contained presence" that doesn't demand their attention or energy. This is the structural equivalent of sitting quietly in a garden; you are part of the beauty without needing to pick the flowers. By not intruding, you allow the other person’s system to remain at rest, which facilitates a higher level of mutual safety and long-term coherence.
