I Feel Trapped — Deep Work

This is a deeper regulation pass. The goal is to stabilize the body, reduce overload, and rebuild a sense of internal steadiness.

Work through

  1. Map what happened before the overwhelm hit.
  2. Identify the strongest body signals and where they show up.
  3. Slow the system with breathing, grounding, and reduced stimulation.
  4. Separate the body alarm from the story in your head.
  5. Choose a recovery plan for the next hour that protects your stability.

Next path

You do not need to solve everything in one pass. Choose the next path that feels closest to what is still active.
