I was listening to Sara's livestream in the background today while working and I decided to jot down every 'psychological' term she used:
- Weaponize
- Toxic
- Emotionally Manipulative
- Violated Boundaries
Bonus: "I'm not here to diagnose."
I spend A LOT of time at work reading clinical notes and these are terms that would NEVER be used in any kind of documentation. These are pop psychology buzzwords that have absolutely no place in any kind of assessment, evaluation or service note. There are huge pushes in the field to utilize person-centered language. I spent many years educating staff on appropriate vs. inappropriate language to describe client and client behavior - even during informal conversations.
Also, I cannot stand when Sara offers a diagnosis. Not only is that highly unprofessional (even famous YouTube doctors make a point of stating they cannot diagnose) it's highly unethical for her to do so. Only psychiatrists, psychologists and licensed professional therapists are allowed to provide a diagnosis. She has no license and barely any professional experience.
I've been blocked for three weeks from pwBPD after he got mad at me for whatever reason. Now he's texing saying that I'm the love of his life. When i didn't answer he called me and asked me why i didn't answer when he "got vulnerable". Then asked me for his glasses Rx.
He keeps saying how our love transcends time and whatever. He says the reason he blocked me is because he's been seeing a therapist twice a week who advised him to block me for a month and if he still loved me he would "have his answer". I told him that made no sense. He says he doesn't want to talk about the past or have me point fingers but to say "I hurt" instead of "you hurt me". Keeps telling me i should know these things because they are "textbook". He doesn't want to accept accountability (although he has many times in the past with great clarity...then changes his mind later).
When I kept asking him to call me and he wouldn't...i told him to just go back to ignoring me because I don't want to communicate with a phone screen I want to talk to HIM. Now he says I'm giving him ultimatums and he feels "icky". I told him to have a good holiday and let me go. No response.
Has anyone dealt with this? the psychobabble that is total BS?

There's a string part from like 3:16-:3:43 that's really nice!
Can anyone reccomend songs/artists with strings like this? :)
Family therapists and addictions counselors have contributed a lot to our understanding of the role of the family and early developmental influences in addiction, and many of their ideas have become enormously popular, even stimulating their own self-help movements. Yet it feels as though researchers have expressed a great deal of skepticism about the value of these contributions. Do any of their contributions seem to fit any families you have known?

Back in the 00’s I used to play this game on popcap.com called Psychobabble. It was an online game where you were put into a room with other players and you would have a bunch of words and put them together to make sentences and then people would vote on which sentence was the best.
They took the game down, probably because most everyone just tried to make the raunchiest sentences they could and people would cheat by playing with their friends while on the phone or side by side with them, telling each other which sentences were theirs. But that game was so fun and funny. I laughed so hard so many times.
Is there a game like that nowadays? If not, somebody needs to make it!!
Hello friends,
Recently have heard a lot of people, unfortunately most commonly people of the boomer age group, dismiss anything about mental well being, taking care of your mind, or understanding the depth and way of how someone mentally receives and perceives something to find a wiser and kinder way to show them something new they may be usually unwilling to consider.
In my experience, these people who usually dismiss psychological ideas are quick to write people off for their problems. And its really frustrating to me. How do you deal with people who take a genuine field of study, which is trying to be used to HELP other people, and just throw it out as "psychobabble". It's discouraging and saddening.
And, of course, basing your opinion of strangers on what you imagine is the frequency with which their dick gets wet.
I remember the first time I saw this blog maybe five years ago, and thinking “wow, I wonder when this guy will kill himself,” because there’s no way you can be this filled with hate for this long, letting it seep into every part of your life, and not be suicidal.
Then he took a 4 year hiatus, maybe as a gift to his readership of cunty Asians and cucked whites. Sadly, it looks like he’s still alive. (I put a very low premium on Gays Complaining, and there’s no evidence dude has done anything else with his life)
Probably the most Tedly trait is how anyone raising a rational point not born out of race hatred will IMMEDIATELY be presumed white and told “this space is not for you,” which is Leftese for Fuck Off Gamma.
Blog also reminds me of the Angry Mersh Fan, because I think this guy is also a Robin DiAngelo type who can’t order food at a restaurant or do a load of laundry without being doubled over by racial animus.

I recently completed my second runthrough of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and there was an aspect of it that left me wanting: where was the Trek psychobabble?
As I understand it, technobabble is in nonfiction jargon accidentally impenetrable by newcomers because of its shorthand renderings of complex “hard science” concepts, and in fiction jargon intentionally impenetrable by the audience because it represents fictional concepts and workarounds of contemporary scientific theories to get to the cool stuff. Psychobabble is the same, but for “soft sciences”.
Example: When someone walks onto the holodeck and attempts to touch a hologram, why do they make physical contact? Isn’t a hologram just a trick of light? “Oh, it’s compressed photons inside a malleable force field.” Oh cool, got it.
This “explanation” means nothing: what the hell is a force field? Damned if I know, no one ever explains, they’re just there, moving on. But actually explaining it was never the point, was it? We know that force fields can be touched, therefore if a hologram is part force field, it can be touched, moving on.
So in the final season of Deep Space Nine, Ezri Dax is introduced as the eponymous space station’s new counselor (in the past 6 years of Starfleet administration, there hasn’t been any counselor at all). I got excited because I remembered her role as counselor, and my first watch of the series was before I had any interest, however casual, in psychology. I was interested to hear what ridiculous psychobabble would come up as Ezri worked her way through 6 years worth of unaddressed mental health issues.
However, this was not to be. Ezri Dax is explicitly canonically undertrained and unqualified for and promoted past her competency to the position of station counselor, and fittingly seems to have zero success actually helping anyone with psychological issues. A medical doctor and a holographic 60’s Vegas lounge singer are better therapists than her. To make things worse, there is (by my estimation) zero psychobabble to be found. Everything is very cut and dry and understandable. No weird fictional psychology happens, even when the patients are aliens. This seems to stem from Ezri’s lack of knowledge: if you aren’t properly versed in the field, how are you supposed to create and use jargon?
My question: if you were to write for Star Trek (or similar babblefriendly IP), how would you write psychobabble? How would you “get around” current mainstream psych-field concepts
