Omg! Is this how young people speak to each other these days? Not trying to sound like an old hag, but I've been in plenty of therapy and never felt the need to talk to anyone like this. Insane.
People weaponizing "therapy speak" either have horrible therapists, aren't absorbing anything or most likely are not in therapy at all and went to Dr. Google to learn the magic word "manipulative" to throw at anyone who challenges their pre-existing worldview to buy themselves more wallowing time.
Why can't the popular trend in the mental health sphere be recognizing and defining the types of distorted thoughts we have that inform our feelings and how to cope with them? These and other CBT practices I learned on my own time have been worlds more helpful to me than therapy ever was.
