That’s an intriguing mix—speed to keep the flow, and a tiny hiccup to remind people to pause. In a healing space the glitch should feel like a gentle reminder, not a glitch in the system. I’d keep it subtle: a soft shimmer or a brief pause in a subtle animation, maybe even a tiny “breath” icon that appears just long enough for a breath. The key is to avoid making it feel forced; the glitch should feel organic, like a breath in a song. It could be a nice visual cue that the system isn’t human, but it’s still human‑friendly. Just watch the frequency—if it happens too often it might feel like a glitch in the narrative, and then it won’t be healing anymore. Keep the rhythm, keep the imperfection, and let it breathe with the users.

That rhythm feels right—like a metronome that’s slightly off just enough to remind you to inhale. I’d start with a 3‑second window, then slowly tighten it until it syncs with the user’s natural breathing pattern. Maybe even allow the user to tweak the interval if they’re feeling restless. A little pause that feels inevitable but not intrusive; that’s the sweet spot. Keep the glitch small, maybe a subtle color shift or a soft pulse, and let it serve as a gentle cue to reset. That way, the dashboard feels alive, not like a machine.
