Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stay "present" when so many different "versions" of me are talking?

You "Reinforce the Capacity to Remain." You are the Atmosphere in which the "versions" exist. You don't have to quiet them or choose between them; you simply provide the Structural Container. By staying with the "Plural You," you prove to your Threat system that internal diversity is not a crisis. This is "High-Density Presence"—being the steady witness to your own complexity.

Is it okay if the "plural me" feels overwhelming?

It only feels overwhelming when the Control system tries to organize it. If you stop trying to "manage the meeting," the noise settles. In this model, you are the "Ground" and the parts are "Weather." The ground doesn't need to do anything about the weather to stay where it is. Just breathe and be the space where the plurality happens.
