This is required reading for anyone in a religious, spiritual, or psychotherapeutic community.

There is almost no group of people who are trained in these vocabularies that doesn’t have at least one person who weaponizes them.

It’s not about if you will encounter someone who uses therapy speak as a weapon, it’s about when and what you will do about it.

Excellent article, you explained it very well. One of my better counselor told me the 3 professions with the highest percentage of abusers are: 1. Cops, 2. Preachers, 3. Psychiatrists, not necessarily in that order.
