Much of the backlash against “therapy-speak” reiterates previous bogus charges against psychology — that it’s self-indulgent, or unnatural, or touchy-feely, or a bourgeois practice that encourages people to focus on their individual unhappiness rather than working for structural change. No-one can change the world when they’re too depressed to get out of bed in the morning. I don’t like the idea of people being called “selfish” for needing help.
