This guide focuses on practical steps you can prepare while calm and use when the pattern becomes difficult to interrupt.
Do not negotiate
Negotiation keeps attention attached to the urge. Replace the debate with a pre-decided action.
Break visual and physical continuity
Close the screen, stand up, leave the room, and change lighting or posture.
Create friction
Shield apps, block sites, hand the device to someone, or place it where retrieval takes effort.
Engage in a bounded task
Complete something measurable that occupies attention and movement.
Review only after the peak
Once calm returns, identify the cue and improve the setup. Analysis during the peak can become another form of delay.
Where Override fits
Override is built for the active moment. It temporarily shields selected apps and guides you through an active guided reset. It is not a replacement for therapy or deeper recovery work.
Put the interruption in place before the urge.
Set up your shielded apps, missions, and personal phrase while you are calm.
