Translate Therapy-Speak into Everyday Language
Your therapist said something that sounded important, or a self-help book threw a term at you, and you nodded along without really following. List the concepts and this strips each one of jargon, then shows what it looks like in your actual day. You come away understanding the idea well enough to do something with it, not just repeat it.
