From hidden captivity to self-governance.

The MethodFive pillars · One system

What autonomy means

Autonomy is not independence from people. It is independence from captivity. Enough clarity to know what you want, enough structure to pursue it, and enough self-trust to lead from that place.

The condition it treats

Hidden captivity.

Functioning, but not free. Moving, producing, helping, leading, but not fully from your centre.
