The Glossary

The Glossary on this website defines terms in plain language as they are used in the book. Some come from medicine and psychology, some from the author’s own spiritual beliefs, and some the author built herself to describe her experience. They are offered as language, not as diagnosis. No entry in the Glossary is a clinical assessment of you or of anyone else.

A memoir, told from memory

This is a work of memoir. It is the author’s account of her own life, written from her memory, her notes and her records. Conversations are reconstructed rather than transcribed. Some names and identifying details have been changed. Other people in these events may remember them differently, and they are entitled to.
