Therapy Speak Goes Mainstream: Benefits and Risks

Therapy speak, which includes words like 'boundaries', 'triggers', and 'trauma', has become very common on social media and in everyday conversations.

This can be helpful because it allows people to talk about their feelings and understand their experiences better.

However, it can also be a problem if these words are used too loosely or without understanding their real meanings.

Therapists say that while it's good to have these words, it's important to use them carefully and not just rely on them without doing the real work of healing.

They suggest learning more about these concepts and using them to understand ourselves better, not just to label others.
