Agree. The problem is that there ARE actually people for whom "therapy speak" is actually functional, valuable information that helps them to overcome trauma and dysfunction.

I am uncomfortable with the attitude on this thread (and also often on DCUM generally) that everyone who talks about trauma or stuff like setting boundaries, being gaslit, etc., is simply being selfish and dramatic and using these terms to mistreat others. This does happen, but also, some people are actually overcoming abuse and severe dysfunction and genuinely need these things to help them through it.

Dismissing everyone because SOME people misuse and abuse these terms is not great because it's unlikely to dissuade the peopel using these terms for selfish reasons, and can really harm people who are actually trying to heal and become more functional.[/quote]

Narcissists feel rage and frustration when they are cut off. The Internet attracts these angry people as an outlet for their frustration. Normal people naturally respect others and listen to them. The ones screaming about people being selfish for having boundaries, blaming therapists for their estrangements and gaslighting are narcissists.[/quote]
