Glossary

Although language can provide a helpful, often evocative, way of sharing and connecting with others, by its very nature, language is inherently limited.
In addition, the way we define and use words is often a matter of personal preference and/or cultural influence.
As a result, misunderstandings about the meanings of words can often be the source of confusion, misunderstanding and even suffering.
In light of this, I have compiled this glossary to provide a common set of definitions to serve as a framework for shared understanding of key terms I use in my writing, in the Thrive Retraining program and in our shared dialogues.
