>everyone i know talks in therapy speak IRL

>>720278
Oh and before you tell me to simply get better friends, the only other cohort that exists in numbers around me are chuds who talk in based memespeak IRL so there's no real winning option here. Everyone's an annoying internet person now

Just have no friends. It's that shrimple

what does that mean ?

not my problem

maybe you should be grateful for having friends

Elaborate, give an example

>>720278
Psychology as a scientific field is a fucking joke.

at least you know people irl.

THIS UYGHA KNOWS PEOPLE IRL HAHAHAHA

>>720278
Other people are hell.
You're born alone and you die alone.

Is this kinda thing what you mean by therapy speak? Like it's correct, but feels like it boils one's actions into something mechanical, which can be disorienting?

We need to spread theory speak instead.

That's just twitter and it sucks

Therapy only works on NPCs that can't self-reflect. If you can self-reflect, the therapist will probably only tell you what you already know.

>If you have no ability to systematically think about and solve your problems, you should probably tell all your problems immediately to someone who does, and maybe this person could be a therapist.


>But also: people vary really widely in their ability to do something sort of like hold a conversation with themselves - for example, some people totally lack an inner monologue. Nobody has ever checked if those people benefit from therapy more, and I don't want to actively predict that they would. But I know that I talk things over with myself a lot. Does this help me stay emotionally stable? Not sure; seems plausible. If I didn't have an inner monologue, maybe the only way I could get that same effect would be by talking them over with another person.


>Other people obsessively seek external reassurance. I talked here about the phenomenon of hypochondriacs who go to their doctor to be told that their latest concern (maybe the 25th time they had a certain symptom) isn't worth worrying about, same as the last 24 times. They're not even asking for an x-ray or something! They're just happy to hear the doctor say the words "given that your last 24 symptoms were nothing, I'm assuming this one isn't anything either". Then they are delighted and go home! I sometimes think about this by analogy to "you can't tickle yourself" - some people can't reassure themselves either, and are very happy to hear thoughts they could have easily generated themselves coming from other people's mouths. Are these some of the people who benefit from therapy? Seems plausible.

Therapy is basically going to someone with a library of self-reflection methods because you've tried several methods already / are too overworked to try all available methods and need to speed up the process.

Teachers use therapy speak alot

The value of therapy is having a person who is paid to listen to your bullshit. You can say whatever you want (with some exceptions) and they have to sit there. Compared with a friend which you can potentially alienate if you say the wrong thing.
It's about social interaction without the consequences. The advice they give you is in many cases either things you've already deduced yourself or completely worthless. The act of talking to them openly about your feelings is what counts, not the follow-up.
I think the modern CBT stuff is completely worthless and I hate how therapists use it as a crutch instead of having a personality or using critical thinking.

Think this is why a lot of artists / authors end up doing fine without therapy. Like that's another way to get feedback for expressions that you wouldn't wanna say directly to a friend.

>>721965
Idk man I think artists/authors are the most in need for therapy.

>>721965
I know "twitter artists" are more like illustrators (hence why they fear AI so much) but most of those guys are absolute freaks.

What is your social circle comprised of?
I've noticed that a lot of people that use therapyspeak don't know the actual meanings well and tend to use entirely wrong terms, probably because they learn those words from TikTok or bourgeois popsci and subsequently easily get sucked into "self-improvement" scams if they use those "magic phrases".

>>721979
There's still artists on twitter? Lmao.

>>721989
Back in the good old days before TikTok, people had public access TV and talk radio to indulge in therapy speak. Hell, we even had self-help/motivational books.

>>721962
Therapists do cock-and-ball torture?

>>722044
The good ones do

>>722043
>Hell, we even had self-help/motivational books.
they didn't go anywhere, i see some of them get talked about on the regular and people hyping them in physical bookstores (with same bookstores selling merch for the most popular of the self-help book series, even)
might be a different thing in your country though

>>721702
Don't worry, radlibs have been successfully boiling therapy speak, HR speak, and theory speak all down into one annoying vernacular sludge these last few years.
