Healing Notes

Scrolling is often used as a nervous system escape. Research shows it activates dopamine in microbursts but depletes long-term regulation. Emotionally, it represents a search for something meaningful in a field of distraction. Spiritually, it's chasing wind.

It loosens with one trusted contact at a time, in doses small enough to stay regulated.
