Continuity is one of the least visible, but most significant, factors in resolving complex issues.

It is not about more time in isolation.
It is about not losing the thread of what is happening.

When work is approached in isolated sessions, each session begins again.
Even if there is progress, there is a natural break.
Attention resets.
Context is lost.
The process becomes fragmented.

In a more contained format, something different happens.

There is space for patterns to emerge.
Space to stay with them.
Space for them to shift.

Often, what changes first is not the symptom itself.
But the consistency.
Things begin to settle, rather than fluctuate.

From there, deeper changes become possible.
Not because something new has been added
but because what was already present has been fully worked through.
