Frequently Asked Questions
How does my presence allow others to be themselves?
When your presence is non-evaluative and non-demanding, you remove the "threat of judgment" from the environment. This allows the other person's Status & Control system to stand down, as they no longer feel the need to perform or optimize for your benefit. By respecting their autonomy, you create a structural container where they can finish their own internal loops without interference. This is the highest form of presence—one that facilitates "meaning density" for everyone involved.
Why is autonomy important in presence?
Autonomy ensures that each person's integration process remains their own. If you try to "force" meaning or connection on someone, you are essentially hijacking their behavioral loops. By remaining present while respecting their space, you are modeling a "closure-respecting system". This allows both identities to stabilize through their own lived experience rather than through constant external validation, leading to a more durable and meaningful connection over time.
