Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it help to have someone else around when I’m trying to settle into the quiet?

This is "Accompanied Settling." While the work is internal, the Threat & Safety system is highly sensitive to the presence of others. Being with a "regulated other" who isn't placing demands on you provides a "Safety Signal" that deepens your own regulation. Staying together in a "Quiet Field" supports the nervous system's transition out of pursuit mode, making the silence feel like a shared sanctuary rather than an isolated void.

What if I’m alone? Can I still settle effectively?

Yes. You can "accompany" yourself by treating your own body with the same non-demanding presence you would offer a friend. In the model, this is "Narrative Accompaniment." By naming your settling process without judging it, you provide the internal safety needed for regulation. You become the "safe other" for your own nervous system, allowing the quiet to become a supportive environment for your identity to update.
