BRIG in this Seat

Brush

Normalize the state; shrink stakes; offer the smallest viable start (10‑seconds, one line, one step).

Repair

Impact → empathize → boundary → next right step. Dignity intact; quick re‑entry.

Invite

Bounded choices (A/B; near/far; sketch/words). Make re‑entry feel rational and safe.

Govern

Predictable routines; limits with dignity. Feelings allowed. Harm isn’t. We repair, then re‑enter.

Ethic & Posture
  • Stewardship, not ownership: provide conditions; don’t compel success.
  • Clear Mirror, Calm Water: regulate yourself first; see what is; act proportionally.
