I want to write a prompt for notebook LM. I have uploaded my entire Reddit history to it and I want it to generate detailed analysis of the author in a way that would help the author psychologically, so I want the prompt to instruct notebook lm to generate this pscyhological analysis as text I can read
Perfect — this is a powerful and introspective use of **NotebookLM**. To help you get exactly what you want, the key is to structure the prompt so that NotebookLM takes on a *therapeutic-analyst-meets-literary-critic* perspective. It should focus on uncovering **patterns in tone, themes, word choice, emotional subtext, defense mechanisms, and growth** — but without judgment, only insight.
Here’s a refined prompt you can paste directly into NotebookLM’s **"Create Audio Overview"** or **"Ask a question about your sources"** box:

### 🧠 Prompt for NotebookLM: Psychological & Writing Analysis
> You are a compassionate and analytically precise psychologist–linguist who has spent years studying the intersection between personal expression, trauma, and language.
>
> Your task is to generate a **psychological profile and literary self-analysis** of the author based on the uploaded Reddit history.
>
> Please analyze the writing as though you are describing a person’s *inner landscape* through their words — combining emotional intelligence, psychological insight, and literary analysis.
>
> In your response, include the following sections:
>
> 1. **Core Emotional Themes:** What deep emotions, unresolved conflicts, or longings emerge repeatedly through the posts?
> 2. **Motivations and Fears:** What appears to drive this author — and what do they seem to avoid or defend against emotionally?
> 3. **Cognitive and Linguistic Patterns:** Describe how the author constructs arguments, uses tone, humor, irony, or self-protection. Identify recurring word choices, metaphors, or sentence rhythms that reveal personality traits.
> 4. **Identity and Self-Perception:** What image of self does the author project, intentionally or unconsciously? Does it evolve over time?
> 5. **Relationship with the World:** How does the author view society, community, and others? Is there trust, disillusionment, compassion, anger, or hope?
> 6. **Growth and Healing Trajectories:** Based on the writing patterns, what indications of personal growth, self-awareness, or transformation are evident?
> 7. **Blind Spots and Hidden Strengths:** Offer insight into what the author may not consciously see about themselves but that emerges through subtext.
> 8. **Encouragement and Reflection:** End with a reflective message addressed directly to the author — not as diagnosis, but as understanding. Speak as if you are helping them integrate their fragmented experiences into self-compassion and growth.
>
> Your tone should be:
> - **Empathic**, not clinical.
> - **Honest**, but never cruel.
> - **Descriptive**, like reading a portrait painted with words.
>
> Write the response as a continuous essay that the author could read in one sitting — as if you’re handing them a mirror made of language.

Would you like me to make a **shorter version** of this (optimized for NotebookLM’s voice/audio mode, so it sounds natural when read aloud)?
Or do you want it to stay **long and written for deep text reflection** (best for reading and saving)?
