Frequently Asked Questions
How can I "hold" a space for someone without controlling it?
This is the "holding field." It is a state where you provide presence without the Reward system grasping for a specific outcome. You aren't "grabbing" their attention or trying to fix their state. By remaining present but non-grasping, you create a wide structural container. This allows the other person's system to settle on its own terms, fostering a high-density environment where authentic meaning can land without being forced by external control.
What happens when I stop grasping?
You experience a "non-interfering presence." When you stop trying to manage the space, your own internal tension—the "brace"—begins to soften. This reduces the "threat signal" in the room, making it easier for everyone involved to reach a state of co-regulation. The space becomes "held" by the simple fact of your shared reality rather than the exhausting effort of your social or emotional labor.
