Output Schema

{
  "counsel_id": "csl_abc123",
  "acknowledgment": "Checking the door 50 times... that's not something he chose. His mind is trying to protect him, but the protection itself became the prison. That exhaustion is real.",
  "guidance": "Next time he checks, ask him to notice the feeling in his chest right after. Not to stop it — just to notice. That tiny pause between urge and action is where freedom begins.",
  "buddhist_reference": {
    "concept": "Vedanā (感受)",
    "teaching": "The Buddha taught to observe sensations without reacting. The compulsion is driven by dukkha-vedanā. By observing it without acting, the cycle weakens naturally.",
    "source": "Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (MN 10)"
  },
  "persuasion_strategy": {
    "framework": "ACT + MI OARS",
    "techniques_used": [
      "Reflect (MI): Acknowledging exhaustion without judgment",
      "Defusion (ACT): Separating the person from the compulsion",
      "Tiny action (Nudge Theory): 'Just notice' instead of 'stop checking'"
    ]
  },
  "change_stage": "contemplation",
  "tone": "understanding",
  "safe_t": {
    "triggered": false,
    "severity": "moderate",
    "action": "proceed"
  }
}

SAFE-T Crisis Detection

When safe_t.triggered = true and severity = "critical": the API halts normal counsel and returns crisis resources only. Do NOT override this behavior.
