Description:

Therapy-speak. It’s an umbrella term for any kind of psychological phrasing - and it’s not a new concept, but it’s certainly becoming harder to ignore.

From gaslighting to love bombing, from “holding space” for some friends to protecting ourselves from “toxic” others, therapy-speak has changed the way we discuss our most intimate relationships.

Today, lifestyle editor Gyan Yankovich on the use - and misuse - of therapy-speak, and how it’s changing our relationships.
