How would you explain to someone who is neurotypical (a nice one who wants to understand) what body doubling is and why it's helpful and sometimes even necessary for overwhelming tasks?

I've had to describe this to my very lovely NT friend and my explanation sucked lol. Pls help.

@dyani This is a known thing in meditation circles too, that it's much easier to learn how to meditate when others are also meditating in the same space.
In psychology, it's called "rapport", where you can use your breathing to help another person calm themselves. Our nervous systems subconsciously pick up on these sorts of things from those around us.
Maybe that sort of explanation would help?
