A quiet capacity develops within relational systems as we witness others adapt, heal, and reorganise under pressure. By staying present to stories of survival — not only suffering — we internalise evidence that systems can recalibrate, dignity can be restored, and new patterns of stability can emerge.

Relational attunement is the capacity to sense and respond to subtle shifts in others. It is less about empathy as sentiment and more about shared regulation — the conditions in which bodies reorganise and steadiness returns to the field.
