Sophia Intrusive Thoughts Protocol

Intrusive thoughts lose their power through externalisation and observation. Writing them out — privately, in a place where no one will ever read them — is one of the most effective ways to break the loop. This is a technically private, local-only space. The words exist only on your device.
