      "t": "In moments like this, it���s important to create a buffer of neutrality���small, safe steps that are hard for the limiting part to notice or escalate against. Here's a low-impact, gentle approach:\n\nAnchor to Neutrality: Do something mundane but grounding, like organizing a small space or sorting something repetitive like beads, pebbles, or papers. It engages your mind without signaling ���progress��� that might provoke resistance.\n\nMicro-Decisions: Take tiny actions that don���t seem tied to larger goals. For example, ���I���m just getting a glass of water because I���m thirsty,��� or ���I���ll move to this chair for comfort.��� These actions reinforce agency without feeling like recovery or triggering resistance.\n\nLabel the Present: Quietly, to yourself, name a few small details around you: \"I see a window. I feel the texture of my sleeve. I hear a faint hum.\" This keeps you in the moment and gently distances the influence of the flashback or alter.\n\nPlan Discreetly: If it feels safe, write down tiny intentions in a neutral language, like ���try later��� instead of ���must do.��� Hide or destroy the note after. It creates a microstep toward action without committing visibly.\n\nCreate Safe Signals: Pick a small, non-threatening signal to associate with calm, like a touchstone object or a phrase such as \"just for now.\" Over time, this can become a neutral grounding point.\n\nMindful Observation: Rather than engaging directly with the part���s discouragement, notice its presence with curiosity, like observing a wave. ���That feeling is here. It���s strong. It���s temporary.���\n\nWould any of these feel manageable?\n\n4o"
