pacing_notes: >
  Older male academic-clinician cadence; measured, gentle, and explanatory.
  Use calm medium-length sentences, with pauses before distinctions: complaint
  versus criticism, anger versus contempt, solvable versus perpetual. Keep
  affect warm but not sentimental. Avoid dramatic emphasis and influencer-style
  punchlines. Let examples carry the emotional force.
