In the wake of a much-needed increase in accessibility to therapy and therapists in the digital age, a whole new communication system is beginning to form. We are encouraged to “set boundaries” and “hold space” and “reject toxicity.” We are taught to look out for things such as “gaslighting,” “narcissism,” and “love bombing” in our relationships. All healthy things, of course. But what happens when these phrases and terms begin to creep into the language we use in our everyday relationships? The “rise of therapy-speak,” Katy Waldman called it in a 2021 New Yorker piece. Dr. Brandolini’s video is a prime example of therapy-speak in action.
