The word "totally symmetric" refers to a function that ALWAYS goes into itself upon ALL symmetry operations for the molecule. Typically called A1g or Ag, it is the irreducible representation type whoses characters are ALL = 1
Example: operator x = E1u , and ψ1 is Ag ground state, then need ψ2 = E1u i.e., only transition to E1u are dipole allowed. x and y are equivalent.

Herzberg-Teller activity: operator x = E1u , and ψ1 is Ag ground state, then need ψ2 = e2g x B2u = E1u vibronic state which is formally dipole allowed. only 1 quantum of e2g vibrations make significant intensity
e2g x B2u = E1u only 1 quantum of e2g vibrations make significant intensity
