- Topic
- The reframe that boundaries preserve connection rather than sever it — a single-slide conceptual distinction between boundaries (protective, relational) and walls (defensive, disconnecting).
- Arc
- Single-slide reframe template (venn) — two or three circle labels that sit beside each other to show the contrast visually. This is the simplest possible reframe: one idea, one diagram, no sequence.
- Hook
- Direct, plain-spoken, no jargon. The voice rules: 'like she's sitting on the couch with you', never clinical or preachy. The hook is the concept itself, stated warmly.
- Voice
- Angela's own reframe from the brief: 'Boundaries are not walls and they're not punishments. They're the terms on which you can stay in the room.' Plain language, no guru-speak, no shame. Emphasis on relationship preservation, not self-protection as rejection.
- CTA
- Assigned CTA 'Save this for later' worded naturally as a closing invitation — this is a concept worth returning to, and the single-slide format makes it a reference card.
- Constraints
- No clinical language, no treatment framing (rule 5). No toxic positivity or 'just set boundaries' command (rule 5, banned phrases). Single-slide template means no multi-slide arc — this is a conceptual reframe, not psychoeducation. CTA from approved list only (rule 10). Voice must be warm and direct, never preachy (voice rules). Boundaries framed as relational tool, not self-care cliché.
