Question Title

* 5. You cannot prevent someone from going out of WoT. You can notice the signs, bring awareness to the moments and sensations, and slowly pace the work to help your client hold the sensations. This focus on the dynamics of how they are triggered to lose resiliency can facilitate their reprocessing of the “over-coupled” danger responses in their nervous system. This sustained awareness can build resiliency, and increase presence. This can decrease the likelihood they will be stimulated out of the WoT, as they can then tolerate awareness of their own signs.
