Videos teaching therapy-originated concepts like “boundaries” are gaining popularity on the internet. One TikToker named Nancy Wu recently went viral after accusing her “over-therapized” friends of misusing therapy language. According to a licensed clinical psychologist, while mental health awareness is beneficial, therapy terms can be weaponized. The discourse around therapy-speak has intensified this year, particularly after actor Jonah Hill was accused of using therapy lingo like “boundaries” in a controlling manner. The recent viral video by Wu reignited the conversation, as she claimed her friends ghosted her after accusing her of manipulation. Wu believes her friends have taken concepts from therapy and used them to justify their resentment. However, the backlash against therapy-speak has also led to humorous skits on TikTok mocking the excessive use of this language. The overuse of therapy terms can lead to negative consequences, such as strained friendships or breakups. While therapy can be helpful, it is important for individuals to think critically about the language they use and not adopt therapy terms without understanding their context and weight.
