Color Mending® Brand Guide
Language Do’s & Don’ts
Color Mending is an educational methodology, not a clinical service. The way you talk about it matters, both for accuracy and for protecting the integrity of the brand. Here's a simple guide:
Instead of this → Try this
Therapy / therapeutic → Educational / methodology-based
Heal / healing → Learn / understand / practice
Treat / treatment → Support / work with
Diagnose / diagnoses → Identify / recognize
Fix your emotions → Work with your emotions
Mental health treatment → Emotional regulation tools
Chelsea is my therapist → Chelsea is a Color Mending practitioner
This cured my anxiety → This helped me understand my anxiety
It will change your mental health → It changed how I relate to my emotions
A simple rule: If the language sounds like something a doctor or licensed therapist would say in a clinical setting, swap it out. While Color Mending is powerful and science-backed, it sits in the education lane, not the clinical one.
