Therapy Words, Without the Nod-and-Guess
A plain-language glossary explaining therapy and psychology terms such as IFS, EMDR, brainspotting, TIST, and polyvagal theory.
Field notes
The homepage currently organizes five topics—TIST, IFS, EMDR, brainspotting, and polyvagal theory—around short explanatory hooks rather than technical definitions. It describes TIST through coping behaviors that may cause harm, presents EMDR as addressing memories that keep returning as present, and notes that brainspotting was found by accident in 2003. The creator says individual pages quote the originator of each approach and conclude with sources and evidence.
