The people screaming "gaslighting" loudest are usually rewriting history. Projection isn't self-awareness, it's a preemptive strike. And it works.

»Das triggert mich.« – Therapy Speak ist überall. Das ist gut (Entstigmatisierung!) und problematisch (Begriffsverwässerung).

It’s easier to say “my neurodivergence won’t let me” than “I don’t feel like doing that.” It’s easier to blame “trauma” than admit “I struggle with boundaries.”

Not every preference needs a pathology.
Not every awkward moment is abuse.
Sometimes you’re just human and that’s okay.

The most dangerous abusers know exactly how to flip the script and make their volatility look like your fault, while using therapy language to dodge accountability for their own shit.

Unmasking therapy-speak - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics Therapy-speak is the imprecise and superficial integration of psychotherapy language into everyday communication, especially by privileged or wealthy people. Despite the advantages of normalizing psychotherapy language, such as resisting epistemic injustice and enhancing awareness of mental health issues, therapy-speak raises important concerns. On the epistemic front, therapy-speak is susceptible to the erosion of the meaning and relevance of psychotherapy terms, pathologizing, and the risk of self-diagnosis. Regarding its ethical concerns, therapy-speak might be used to discredit individuals, evade responsibilities, and even signal social status, by taking an objective stance. Beyond these epistemic and ethical concerns, therapy-speak can also be weaponized to promote and perpetuate some forms of epistemic injustice, and to generate affective injustice. In particular, we argue that the weaponization of therapy-speak exploits the epistemic authority and the credibility excesses of medical evidence, the conflation between the descriptive and the normative, and the linguistic strategy of deniability to impose a specific way to manage emotions in challenging, and unjust, situations.

Huge congrats to @isernmas.bsky.social & Manuel Almagro on their new paper on #therapyspeak! 🎉

Carme and I talked all about it on my podcast, Behind the Stigma. Episode drops soon!

Therapy Speak Isn't Healing. You can’t bypass growth by reciting Instagram buzzwords in a soft tone. If every hard conversation feels “abusive,” maybe it’s not your trauma... it’s your threshold for reality.

Is mental health 'awareness' backfiring? It's mental health awareness week, again. But the latest data shows that mental health stigma is increasing, not decreasing. What's going on there? And has mental health awareness gone 'too far'?

Overuse of diagnostic labels via therapy-speak might also diminish the perceived seriousness of genuine clinical conditions. Not every personal challenge fits neatly into a defined box. #TherapySpeak 4/6

I’m telling y’all young people, randomly using #TherapySpeak on the brainwashed CULT may help them question themselves.🤷🏼‍♀️

How awesome would that be?

For those who are hateful, cruel & generally “wrong,” in the brain, to see a path to healing?

Cray people SKIP therapy. Sane people GO to therapy.🤷🏼‍♀️

Buzzwords Don’t Make You Self-Aware

Therapy-speak should help you grow, not help you hide. If “boundaries” means “emotional cutoff” and “gaslighting” means “they disagreed,” you’re not self-aware, you’re just fluent in avoidance.
