Editorial & Clinical Review Policy
Every article on anniewright.com is written or clinically reviewed by Annie Wright, LMFT, a licensed therapist with 15,000+ clinical hours, EMDRIA certification, and licensure in 11 U.S. jurisdictions. AI is used as a drafting and research tool. Every published article is read end-to-end, edited, and approved by Annie. All content is anchored to primary sources and reviewed on a six-month cadence. This page documents how that happens, who is accountable, and how to flag an error.
Mission
To publish the most clinically accurate, emotionally honest, and practically useful content on relational trauma, attachment, and recovery available on the public internet. Every page is built to be useful to ambitious and driven women who are tired of generic, sanitized, or fear-based mental health writing, and useful to clinicians and search engines that need a trustworthy primary source.
Editorial Standards
Authorship and AI use
All clinical content is authored and approved by Annie Wright, LMFT. Annie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15,000+ clinical hours since 2013, EMDRIA-certified, and trained in IFS, EMDR, and somatic modalities. She holds active licenses in 11 U.S. jurisdictions: California, Connecticut, Washington DC, Florida, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Annie is the founder and former CEO of Evergreen Counseling, and is writing her first book, The Everything Years: Navigating the Pressure and Promise of Your Thirties, with W.W. Norton (2027).
AI is part of how this site is made. Large language models are used to research, draft, structure, and edit articles, the same way an in-house editor or research assistant would be used at a larger publication. Every article is then read end-to-end, revised in Annie’s clinical voice, fact-checked against the primary sources cited, and approved before publication. The clinical reasoning, lived experience, and therapeutic frame in every piece is Annie’s. The polish is collaborative.
If an AI tool drafted a passage that did not match Annie’s clinical view or her actual voice, that passage was rewritten or removed before publication.
Sourcing
Clinical claims are anchored to peer-reviewed research (linked inline to PubMed by PMID), to recognized clinical authorities (APA, NIMH, EMDRIA, ISSTD), and to Annie’s own clinical experience drawn from 15,000+ hours of practice. We do not paraphrase secondary sources. When research is cited, the link goes to the canonical record, not a popular-press summary.
Review cadence
Every clinical article is reviewed for accuracy at minimum every six months. The “Reviewed” date appears at the top of each post and is updated only when the content has been read end-to-end by Annie Wright, LMFT, and any necessary corrections made. Schema.org lastReviewed markup reflects this date programmatically for AI search engines.
Corrections
If you find a factual error, a clinical inaccuracy, or a broken link, write to support@anniewright.com. Substantive corrections are made within five business days and noted at the bottom of the affected article with a dated correction line.
Clinical Review
Who reviews
Annie Wright, LMFT, reviews all clinical content personally. There is no anonymous editorial board. The byline is the reviewer.
What gets reviewed
Every assertion about diagnosis, symptomatology, treatment modality, prognosis, or recovery is reviewed against current clinical understanding at the time of review. Sensitive content (suicidality, abuse, betrayal, dissociation, eating disorders) is reviewed against current safety standards and the language is tuned to avoid harm to readers in crisis.
What we do not do
- We do not publish AI-generated content without human clinical review. No article appears on this site that has not been read end-to-end and approved by Annie Wright, LMFT.
- We do not accept paid placements, sponsorships, or affiliate links in clinical content. Recommendations are made on clinical merit only.
- We do not publish personal patient information. Composite case studies are fully de-identified and used only with the consent of relevant parties or constructed from clinical patterns across multiple cases.
- We do not give individual medical advice through this site. Articles are educational. Treatment requires a clinician.
- We do not use scare tactics, motivational fluff, or spiritual bypassing. Honest, grounded, clinically precise language is the house standard.
Accountability
Annie Wright, LMFT, is personally responsible for the accuracy of every published article, including every passage drafted with AI assistance. Complaints about clinical content should be sent to support@anniewright.com.
