Hi Jack,
You are describing "vertigo" as defined by AVRT (pgs 156-157 in The New Cure). There are some strategies for combatting a vertigo beast attack, like labeling. All of chapter 12 might be worth a reread. There are also some really good threads on AVRT here in secular connections that date back to like 2011 I think. Have you read through those? Lots of good stuff in there.
