A shared clinician-client reference for understanding nervous system states — and how to navigate them in session. This is a preview of what's inside Clarity.
"A shared reference for understanding where you are — and how to find your way back to center."
Your nervous system moves through different states depending on what it perceives as safe or threatening. The goal of trauma-informed work isn't to eliminate all activation — it's to expand the window where you can actually process and heal.
The full document includes a clinician note on using this map in session, a real-time check-in section with reflection prompts and write-in lines, and guidance for grounding clients who arrive below their window.
For clients with complex trauma, even naming which zone they are in at the start of session is a meaningful clinical moment. The map gives them shared language — and shared language is the beginning of co-regulation.
