Therapy speak is probably at the heart of a lot of our problems:
I had a client who described a lot of their problems in therapy language. I told them something like: βhey, I believe that psychotherapy was really useful for you at the timeβbut consider the possibility that the pathologizing language you picked up from that culture is distancing you from your experience and causing you to consider normal things problematic.β They stopped using therapy framing and found that their inner life got better as a result.
