Topic FAQ
Why does the order matter?
Because strategy fails when your state is low and your story is hostile. Fix state and story first.
How long should a reset take?
Start with 60-120 seconds. The goal is to regain agency, not to feel perfect.
When do I move to strategy?
As soon as you can name one calm next step and timestamp it clearly.
