SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Intercept offers a disciplined, step-by-step method to debug a single negative thought or feeling by tracing it from trigger to saboteur to the lie it told and the underlying need, then prescribing a contextual PQ rep and logging the interception to your journal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured intercept workflow: capture the thought verbatim, identify the trigger, locate its physical location in the body, name the saboteur with evidence, expose the lie, uncover the need, prescribe a PQ rep, and optionally log the interception.
  • Canonical saboteur reference: uses the 10 saboteurs (with The Judge as the master saboteur) to name patterns without blaming the person.
  • Journaling and safety: records are stored locally for pattern discovery and privacy, with clear scope to avoid clinical claims.

Quick Start

Describe a single negative thought and follow the prompts to trace it to the saboteur, reveal the lie, and identify the underlying need.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace a negative thought to its source and identify the saboteur?

To trace a negative thought to its source, follow a structured interception workflow that captures the trigger, locates the body sensation, names the saboteur using evidence, exposes its lie, and uncovers the underlying need.

What is a PQ rep and how does it help reset a negative mindset?

A PQ rep is a prescribed technique within the interception workflow used to reset a negative mindset after you expose the saboteur's lie and identify your underlying need.

How do I journal negative thoughts locally to discover recurring saboteur patterns?

You journal negative thoughts locally by logging each interception entry in a structured format that records the trigger, saboteur, lie, and need, enabling private pattern discovery over time.

Can I use this interception method for clinical mental health treatment?

No, the interception method includes clear safety checks to avoid clinical claims, meaning it is designed for personal journaling and self-improvement rather than clinical mental health treatment.

How do I identify which of the 10 saboteurs is causing my negative thought?

To identify which of the 10 saboteurs is causing your negative thought, the workflow guides you to name the pattern with evidence using the canonical saboteur reference, which avoids blaming the person.

What is the best way to intercept a negative thought before it spirals?

The best way to intercept a negative thought is to capture it verbatim, identify the trigger, locate the physical sensation in your body, and follow the prescribed steps to reveal the saboteur's lie.
