T0DX5 – Re-Entry After Practice

Re-Entry After Practice

Practice is not finished until the system returns to ordinary life with enough support.

30-Second Summary

A practice is not complete when the exercise ends. The system still needs : orientation, food, water, movement, quiet, contact, grounding, rest, or ordinary-life transition. Without re-entry, even a good practice can leave the viewer raw.

When This Helps
