Canopy and Bonnet

The canopy is the cloth roof that keeps weather off the contents. The child's canopy is the protection they have built. Emotional numbness, avoidance, control, perfectionism, aggression, charm, withdrawal, the thousand small adaptations that kept the child alive in conditions that should not have asked them to adapt. Pieces in this part honor the canopy as a survival skill before they ask whether it still fits the weather. They cover the recognition of the protections a child is using, the language of naming them without shaming them, the work of building newer protections that do not cost the child their range, and the patience of letting old protections come down only when the child no longer needs them. Forms that fit this part include `LENS`, `STAGE_GUIDE`, `STRATEGY_PRACTICE`, and `TRAIL_STORY`. The journey vocabulary includes: the cover that held, the protection that fits, the weather the child has been through.
