2. Core / novel / atypical ideas
- One-line core: the loop is not low standards; it is fear wearing high-standards costume.
- Flow format requested: Starting State → Mechanism → Bottleneck → Upgrade → Practice → Integration → Outcome, with a support band (discounting, rumination, social threat, dopamine).
- Ten techniques are different entry points into the same threat-avoidance circuit.
3. Context and flow
Quick reference distilled from a longer report for Nitish on 05 May morning. Adjacent to if-then research and BA resets: same day stacking initiation + shame/overcontrol tools.
4. Publishing angles
- Mode: Authority article
- Why: System map of a single loop with named clinical tools.
- Angles:
- Fear in high-standards clothing
- Technique chooser by bottleneck (initiation vs rumination vs overcontrol)
- Do not publish as orphan tip list without the loop diagram
