Pause first
Close the app, mute notifications and take a short offline break. Avoid making a purchase, sharing more personal information or answering a pressure prompt while the feeling is immediate.

When you return, inspect proactive messages, memory and content controls. Remove saved details you do not want retained and write a simple boundary for the next session. If a control is missing, treat that as a product limitation.
