Sophia Shame Spiral Processing Protocol
A shame spiral is one of the most painful cognitive loops — it reinforces itself by making you feel ashamed of feeling ashamed. The antidote is exposure in a safe context. Writing the shameful thought privately — where no one will ever read it — begins to reduce its charge. Offline and local only.
