Glossary
At ShiftGrit, we believe that lasting change requires clear understanding.
This glossary defines key proprietary and emerging therapeutic concepts associated with the ShiftGrit Core Method™.
It explains how identity-level patterns form, how limiting beliefs shape behaviour, and how reconditioning techniques work at the level where emotional loops begin.
Whether you’re a client, clinician, or simply curious, this is where you’ll find the language that underpins our model of change.
