Translate Therapy-Speak Into Plain English

You've read a term in therapy or a self-help book and nodded along without really getting it. This decodes the one you name, like avoidant attachment or window of tolerance, into plain language that keeps the actual meaning intact. You finish understanding the concept rather than just recognising the phrase.
