2. When might be a good time to bring this up (and when might you want to avoid starting this discussion)?
3. Please share at least 3-4 tips on how to tell your partner you want to see a couples counselor. (For example, what to do or what not to do to ensure this convo goes smoothly).
4. What can/should you do if your partner isn’t open to the idea of couples therapy? Are there other options to try?

Requirements: Source must be a licensed therapist, counselor, social worker, etc

Summary: Psychology terms everyone gets wrong

Query: I’m working on a piece about the psychology terms that are most misused by the general public. I’ll spend time explaining what each one really means, and why using the term correctly is important. What’s the harm when these terms are adopted and slung about incorrectly by so many people?

Some of the terms on my radar: gaslighting, triggered, love-bombing, trauma-bonded, etc. Eager to hear what other terms you see most misused, and to discuss what they actually mean.

Requirements: Must have relevant mental-health professional experience.
