Milestone

Morning: 6hrs very deep sleep, vivid dreams (non-threatening), not too groggy, functioning quickly, mood 5. Day: all project work complete, clients in afternoon. Noticed days have a different shape (temporal architecture of recovery). Evening: task completion triggers dopamine burst. Look forward to tasks rather than feeling backlog dread. Huge mindset shift. Mood 6.

The healthy reward system is online. - [Gold-Note: The Shape of Days] — Recovery has a temporal architecture. Days now have a recognisable rhythm. Not chaotic. Predictable. - [Pattern: Dreams Non-Threatening] — Shift likely around Day 150, coupled with cognitive upgrade. Narrative integration without fear. - [Infrastructure: Airtable Template] — Blank template with dummy JSON. Copy button. Referral scheme. The toolkit is replicable.
