Editorial Policy, anniewright.com

Version 2.0 · Effective date: August 10, 2026 · Canonical URL: https://anniewright.com/editorial-policy/

Why This Version Exists

Version 1.1 of this policy described a review process this site did not consistently perform. In August 2026 we began auditing the full published archive and found factual claims that could not be traced to a source, citations pointing to material we could not locate, and articles that had never been re-reviewed after publication.

Rather than leave a standard in place that the site did not meet, we rewrote the standard to one we can verify, and we are rebuilding the archive against it. What follows is what we actually do.

Who Publishes This Site

anniewright.com is published by Annie Wright LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Annie Wright LLC is a publishing, education, and coaching company. It is not a clinical practice and it does not provide therapy.

Annie Wright Marriage and Family Therapy, P.A. is a separate clinical practice and does not publish this site. Nothing on this site is therapy, and reading it does not create a therapist-client relationship. See our Medical Disclaimer and Terms of Service.

Who Writes This Content

This site holds more than 3,400 articles published over more than a decade. Annie Wright, LMFT, is the author, and no one else edits her posts.

She has not personally re-read every article in that archive, and this page does not claim she has. Articles written years ago were written to the editorial standard of their time, which was less strict than the standard below.

Annie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist active in 14 U.S. jurisdictions, including Colorado on a telehealth-only basis, and she holds an out-of-state telehealth provider registration in Florida under Fla. Stat. 456.47, which is a registration and not a license. She is an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training. She holds an MA in Counseling Psychology (Integral Counseling Psychology) from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a BA in History and Egyptology from Brown University. In practice since 2013, licensed since 2016.

Full credentials and licensure detail: canonical-facts. Annie’s methodology and named clinical frameworks: methodology.

The Standard We Hold This Site To

That is the whole standard. We want to be precise about what it does and does not say.

What it says. If an article states a fact about the world, you should be able to click through to a source and find that fact stated there. If we cannot give you that source, we delete the sentence rather than leave it standing.

What it does not say. It does not say this site is error-free. It does not say any article has been reviewed by a second clinician. It does not say every article in the archive has already been checked against this standard, because that work is underway and unfinished. It does not say the research we cite is correct, only that we have represented it accurately and shown you where to check it yourself. Research changes, and a source we cite today may later be superseded.

This standard is the rule going forward and the rule the existing archive is being brought up to. It is not a claim about the current state of every page.

How We Source

1. No statistic without a link a reader can open. If a number cannot be tied to a specific statement in a specific source, the sentence comes out.
2. No precise inferential statistics. Confidence intervals, odds ratios, p-values, and effect sizes do not appear in general-audience articles on this site, because they are too easily detached from the population and conditions that produced them.
3. Government and intergovernmental sources come first. Where two sources conflict, the government figure is the one we publish.
4. Researchers are named in full, with degree, institutional context, and the specific book or paper referenced, so you can find the work rather than take our word for it.
5. We do not quote a source we have not read, and we do not construct a citation.
6. Clinical observation is labeled as clinical observation. When Annie writes what she has seen in her own practice, it appears in her own voice and is not presented as research. A phrase such as “in my clinical experience” describes her practice. It is not a substitute for a number we could not source.
7. When in doubt, we cut. Removing an unverifiable sentence costs less than leaving it published.

What We Never Publish

• Diagnostic statements about you. We do not tell readers what they have.
• Medical or psychiatric advice, including anything about starting, stopping, or changing medication.
• Promises about outcomes. We do not tell you what will happen to you if you read an article, take a course, or work with Annie.
• Content that identifies a real client. Every client story on this site is a composite vignette built from patterns across many people and disguised. No vignette describes one identifiable person.
• Claims of training Annie does not hold, including IFS, NARM, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
• Sponsored content, paid placement, or affiliate links in clinical articles.
• Clinical content generated by an AI tool and published without Annie writing or rewriting it.

Safety Commitments

Articles discussing suicide, self-harm, or abuse carry crisis resources on the page. This site is not for emergencies. If you are in immediate danger, call or text 988 in the United States, or call 911.

How We Use AI

We use AI tools for research assistance, drafting scaffolds, editing, and for the archive review described below. We do not publish clinical content that Annie has not written or substantively rewritten. Search Annie’s Writing is an AI tool, is labeled as one, and is governed by its own terms.

Corrections

When we find an error we correct it, and we date the correction. To report one, email support@anniewright.com.

Where the Archive Review Currently Stands

We are working through every published article against the sourcing standard above, one article at a time. This is a large piece of work and it is not finished.

How to tell where a given article stands. Every article carries the date it was last updated. Articles vary in how heavily they are sourced. Some are essays written from clinical experience and are not built on citations at all. Others cite published research directly and link to the source so you can open it and read the finding yourself. Where an article makes a factual claim and gives you no way to check it, that is a gap on our side, and we would like to know about it at support@anniewright.com.

We would rather tell you which is which than imply the whole archive has been checked. When the review is complete we will say so here and date it.

One limit we want to be honest about. This review verifies sourcing. It confirms that a claim is traceable to a source saying what we say it says. It is not a second clinician signing off on Annie’s clinical judgment, and we do not describe it as one.
