Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for a moment to "hold" me?
A "holding environment" is a space where no demand is placed on you. It is a moment where the environment provides safety without requiring a "return on investment." This allows your Threat & Safety system to fully drop its guard.
Why is it hard to accept support that asks for nothing?
We are conditioned by "reciprocity loops"—the idea that every "get" requires a "give." Accepting a quiet, demanding-nothing support moment breaks this loop and teaches the system that safety can be unconditional.
