#therapyspeak — Public Fediverse posts

I said it before and people on Threads got BIG MAD but I'm going to double down:

"Going to therapy" is not a one size fits all and fixes everything solution. And the amount of MEN ON THE INTERNET who are now weaponizing "therapy speak" and telling women like me to "go to therapy" just as a means to shut me up ARE REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF.

STOP RECOMMENDING THERAPY TO EVERYONE. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. SOMETIMES IT MAKES THINGS WORSE. AND IT CERTAINLY MAKES THINGS WORSE WHEN IT'S USED AS A SMOKESCREEN BY ABUSERS.

Pop-therapy speak is problematic because it dilutes the “epistemic authority” and therefore efficacy of actual-therapy speech 👇

which I appreciate – as someone who tends to flagrantly over-indulge in pop-therapy speech –because it is essentially in the same category as over/mis-diagnosis, 1/n 🧵

Reminder: a "boundary" is something you set for *yourself*. Like, "if you do X, I will do Y". The "I will do Y" part is the boundary.

"You can't do X" is not a boundary. It's a rule, an attempt to control another person. Don't let someone call you a "boundary violator" if you simply refuse to accept their rules for you.
