Minimal Traumatic Stress
Expressions activating this band reflect little to no sustained trauma-related activation, with content that is neutral, situational, or limited to brief mention of stressful experience without clear ongoing distress.

Moderate Traumatic Stress
Expressions activating this band reflect active trauma-related distress marked by reminders that trigger strong bodily reactions such as pounding heart, breathing difficulty, or sweating, along with concern about coping and daily functioning. The experience is recognizable as intrusive and disruptive, but remains centered on episodic reactions and interference.
High Traumatic Stress
Expressions activating this band reflect pervasive trauma-related disturbance involving feeling trapped or stuck, difficulty experiencing positive emotions, and disrupted sense of safety, embodiment, or connection with close others. The distress is experienced as broad psychological and bodily dysregulation rather than only reaction to specific reminders.
