- Topic
- The four anxiety responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) as nervous-system patterns, not personality traits — which one you default to and why
- Arc
- Psychoeducation: hook → quote → name it (the four responses) → why it happens → what it looks like → what helps → CTA
- Hook
- Validation / curiosity-driven — 'your body cycles through' normalizes the pattern without shame
- Voice
- Plain, warm, psychology-invisible — teach the concept like you're on the couch with a friend, then name it. No clinical jargon. UNGA! UNGA! reference for survival voice.
- CTA
- Worded as 'save this' because it's reference content the reader will want to return to
- Constraints
- No diagnosis-by-checklist (rule 1), no 'signs you have X'. No cure promises. Kept it non-triggering (rule 12). Used 'many people' not 'everyone'. Stayed within DBT/somatic scope (rule 6). No banned phrases (rule 9).
