Headspace therapy scheduling loop

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A direct-to-human escalation button for users stuck in automated support loops for more than 24 hours.
  2. A visual flow-chart dashboard within the app that shows the user exactly which step of the scheduling process they are on and identifies broken links.
  3. A dedicated 'concierge' support team specifically for therapy scheduling issues to bypass general member services.
