Helps-with synonyms — curated pass (uktg-integration)

All 150 tags rewritten on 2026-07-06 · sorted by therapist usage · old auto-generated list shown for comparison

Rules applied: full label always first · real words and phrases clients type (no prefix stems like "anxi", "inso", "para" — "para" matched "paragraph", "psych" matched "psychologist") · no generic standalone words ("issues", "loss", "self", "work") that fire inside unrelated text or return junk in the picker search · deliberate overlaps between sibling tags (e.g. "miscarriage" on both Miscarriage and Pregnancy loss) · both straight and curly apostrophe forms where relevant. Matching is plain substring in both directions: detection = needle found in the client's text; picker search = typed query found in a needle.
