a condition which can arise when two people are co-auditing (auditing each other alternately), in which each prevents the other from contacting certain engrams or incidents.

When engaged upon auditing each other, they avoid the mutualperiod, thus leaving in place painfully emotional engrams or incidents which should be addressed and handled.See also auditor and engram in this glossary.—HDA Tapes (Oakland Lectures) Approved Glossary (16.4.92)
