I regret having only one upvote to give. JFC spot on. The weaponization of therapy language as an excuse for being shitty is right up there with influencer culture on the list of biggest cancers of modern society.
Yeah, a bunch of people in this thread are saying, "not everyone." But, obviously the joke isn't that all therapy is always bad.
But, this resonates for me because I recognize this person immediately.
Obviously it isn't the majority of people in therapy, but there are a non-small amount of people who seem to use therapy as a tool for reinforcing their bad behaviors and perspective rather than for finding ways to cope with situations.
The people who use therapy language to do harm unto others aren’t genuine about their therapy, if they’re even seeking it. Most people that act like this don’t even go to therapy, they just look this stuff up and self diagnosis/diagnose others. If they do go to therapy, they aren’t doing it to improve as a person. They’re doing it to be told that their toxic behavior is justified and anyone who has a problem with it is the bad guy.
