SOS stays free forever โ with or without a subscription. YOUR HONEST CHECK-IN "How loud is your mind right now?" One turn of the dial, nothing more. No streaks, no guilt โ calm can't be forced. 40 EXERCISES FOR YOUR SITUATION Falling asleep, decisions, replaying conversations, future worries, self-criticism: short 2โ5 minute exercises, step by step. 21 DAYS: STEP OFF THE THOUGHT SPIRAL Understand, interrupt, anchor โ a gentle program at your own pace.
