- Physical manifestations of anxiety precede cognitive awareness — the body registers threat first, then thoughts follow
- Arc
- Psychoeducation: define the phenomenon → explain the nervous-system mechanism → what it looks like → what helps → reframe toward agency
- Hook
- Validation shape ('why does X happen') — calm, curious, non-pathologizing per voice rules
- Voice
- Calm, warm, clinical-but-accessible. Plain language with brief translation of 'sympathetic activation.' No emoji, no hype. Echoes 'innate wisdom of your body' and somatic focus from client phrases.
- CTA
- Assigned CTA 'Save this for later' worded naturally on closing slide as instructed
- Constraints
