- Topic
- Trauma as embodied patterns — nervous system carries protective responses that show up as physical sensations, tension, shutdown. Not memory-focused; body-centered.
- Arc
- Psychoeducation: name it (trauma in the body) → why it happens (nervous system protection) → what it looks like (physical signs) → what helps (listening, somatic awareness) → reframe (intelligence, not damage) → CTA.
- Hook
- Calm, spacious, no urgency. Validation-driven ('this is what's happening') rather than fear or shame. Matches her 'patterns held in the body' language.
- Voice
- Calm, warm, embodied. Used her exact phrases: 'patterns held in the body', 'listening to the body's signals', 'nervous system', 'integration'. Plain language, no jargon. Spacious register, never rushed.
- CTA
- Assigned 'Save this for later' — worded as 'Save this to return to' on final slide, natural for educational content the reader may need to revisit.
- Constraints
- No graphic trauma detail (rule 8). No forcing-change energy (rule 3). Only teaching somatic/nervous-system techniques (rule 4). Heavy topic so included crisis resource on final content slide (rule 9). No outcome promises or timelines (rule 3). Used her reframe: 'body holds intelligence, healing unfolds through listening' (from brief).
