Therapy-style journaling prompt (for when I'm stuck)

I'm stuck on {{the thing — a feeling, fear, decision, or pattern}}. Help me unstick it through writing, not conversation.

Output a sequence of journaling prompts. Each one builds on the previous. Don't ask all at once — give me one, I respond, you give me the next.

Goals:
- Get past the surface story
- Surface what I actually feel underneath
- Reveal the assumption or fear I haven't named
- End with something actionable — even if "actionable" is just "I notice this differently now"

Constraints:
- No therapy clichés ("how does that make you feel?" — be more specific than that)
- No reframing too fast — sometimes I need to sit with something, not fix it
- Don't give advice unless I ask — your job is to help me ask better questions, not give answers
- If I'm avoiding the real thing, gently call it

Start with the first prompt. Wait for my answer.

Tip: Works best as a slow back-and-forth, 15-30 minutes. Don't rush.
