Weaponizing Psychological Terms Distorts Our Relationships
About this episode
The episode discusses how the misuse of psychological terms can distort relationships and promote blame rather than self-reflection.
Have we begun to be so overly sensitive that we protect ourselves with Therapy Speak and love to wrap ourselves up in self-righteous accusations that point the finger…You are a narcissist, You are gaslighting me or You are love bombing me. It's certainly a comfort to grab onto these labels. It's exactly that comfort that feeds our own denial of how we also play a part in the problems. It feeds our love of blame.
