Session Day Support
The best session-day support is usually quiet, practical, and unflustered.

Before
- Confirm logistics: arrival time, ride home, who picks them up.
- Keep the morning calm — no urgent tasks or emotional conversations.
- Ask what they want from you, then honor it (even if it's "space").
After
- Have simple food ready (broth, fruit, toast). Appetite may be low.
- Skip alcohol, intense media, and high-stakes discussions for 24 hours.
- Let them talk if they want to — or not.
