The People Who Drain You, and the Old Way of Cutting Them Off

Some people leave you tired and you cannot say why.

It is not mysterious and it is not imagined. Attention is finite, certain people consume it faster than they return it, and the old instruction for severing them was precise. Cut, protect, seal.

Inside

• What actually drains you — the five kinds, and a seven-day audit that turns a mood back into a cause
• Why the working turns inward — the one test to run on any rite before you perform it
• The severing — the cord, the waning moon, and what the twenty-eight days actually do
• The mirror — used as diagnostic equipment, in three stages
• Not being read — six habits that stop you transmitting continuously
• The sealed vessel — four boundaries, built in order
• Those you cannot cut — sealing rather than severing, for the relative, the colleague, the client
• Reading a drain before it starts — five signals visible in the first few meetings
• The wards — four small permanent practices
• What comes back — the four-week recovery sequence, and why the vacancy must be filled deliberately
• When severing is the wrong answer — four cases where cutting is avoidance
• The governors of endings and the numbers that leak
• The four bodies under depletion, and the character that decides whether any of this is worth having
• The Twenty-Eight Nights — a full working to a turn of the moon
