Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I tried fish oil for a couple of weeks, felt absolutely nothing, and quit
• I’ve had a couple of rough sessions in a row and I’m starting to believe none of this is working
• I touch a hard sensation and then immediately rush on to the next thing, so I never know if anything actually shifted
• I felt totally fine during the session so I went hard, and then two days later I could barely walk down stairs
• I’m standing in front of a wall of fish-oil bottles for my mood and they all blur together

9. Exposure Therapy: Facing Fears to Shrink Them
   Exposure therapy is among the most empirically supported interventions in clinical psychology: it works by having you face feared situations, sensations, or thoughts in a structured way — long enough and repeatedly enough for the fear response to extinguish. Clinician-guided exposure is the gold standard for anxiety disorders; self-guided exposure using the same principles is effective for many manageable fears and is widely used in self-help and digital programs.
10. Track coherence sessions to see real autonomic progression
    Log daily practice consistently to observe whether HRV trends upward over weeks — the measure of real training effect.
