Psycho-babble has it's place, just like chemical nomenclature has it's place in chemistry. But one shouldn't go around replacing the word, 'salt,' with, 'sodium chloride,' in normal conversation. Salt is common parlance, sodium chloride is lab talk.
I go on about this stuff all that time; but, I really do think it's very, very important, and damaging, that people are putting so much faith into something that, not only is not going to help them; but, is actively making things worse. The words we speak of, are a reflection of the constant inner dialogue we use to communicate with ourselves. And to be constantly thinking in the psychological vernacular, is akin to bringing the surgery scalpel home, so you can use it spread butter, and cut bread. It's over-kill.
An over-bearing mother becomes a, 'narcissist.'
A boyfriend who you demand too much of becomes, 'toxic,' for not, 'validating,' you every second of every minute.
Liking things clean and tidy becomes, 'my OCD,' when it's not anything of the sort.
Experiencing normal highs and lows, and even extreme highs and lows, that could be quite normal and non-clinical becomes, 'my polar,' or, 'I'm manic,' or, 'I'm hypomanic,' or, 'I'm depressed.'
Being persistently dissatisfied, in despair, or disappointed, is now, quite normal, to be considered, 'depressed.' Yet we often don't stop to think about how, 'depressed,' is a medical term that describes the, 'slowing,' of a system: such as one's breathing or vasculature.
Dealing with a rude cashier or barista becomes, 'traumatic,' and leaves one, 'trauma triggered.' And to speak like that is just an insult to anyone who has ever been in an extremely fearfully tense situation.
This language creeps into everything. And I think it confuses and befuddles, more often than it doesn't. It harms more than it helps. It literally cheapens human experience. And it confuses people, because they begin to conflate symptoms with causes; and this conflation occurs in a setting, that largely is aimed only at addressing symptoms as if they were causes. So you end up with, by way of analogy, with situations where people being to complain about feeling wet, when they take a shower.
