This breakdown bypasses the 'mindfulness' fluff for aggressive sensory overrides—like freezing your throat with ice water and glitching like a broken NPC—to force your nervous system back into manual mode. It’s weird, it’s loud, and it’s the only way to stop the spiral when your brain is currently acting like a dumpster fire.
