Deep into the PagesEP81:Deep Into - Psychobabble最近这几年，我有一个特别强烈的感受，我们好像突然都变成了心理学家。社交媒体，到处都是心理学术语的狂欢，有点久病成医的感觉。如果你男朋友不想陪你，那他可能是“回避型依恋”；如果你和同事吵架了，对方否定你的观点，那你肯定是被“煤气灯操纵”了；如果你的前任很自私，那不用问，他绝对是“自恋型人格障”；甚至连我们不想做某件事，都能理直气壮地说：“这是我的边界。”这些词汇给了我们一种错觉，好像只要贴上一个标签，我们就能理解复杂的人性，但有没有一种可能，这些满天飞的术语，不仅没有帮我们解决问题，反而成了我们逃避真实沟通的挡箭牌？最近在收拾收藏的2025书籍的时候发现了这本《Psychobabble》感觉就是在揭露这个问题，看来这玩意也是个全球现象不只是中国。书名 Psychobabble 本身就是一个讽刺，指的是那些听起来很专业、实际上空洞无物甚至被误用的心理学废话，这种新词用法作为书名不是第一次了，之前那本封面一坨大便的书你还记得吗。作者 Joe Nucci 是一位持证心理咨询师（LPC），他在书中毫不客气地向这种流行心理学开了一炮。这本书做了很多去伪存真的还原，我根据开头的举例对照列举几个：比如 “Gaslighting”（煤气灯效应）。现在只要有人反驳我们的记忆或观点，我们就觉得被 Gaslight 了。但作者提醒我们，真正的煤气灯是一种严重的、系统性的心理虐待，目的是让人怀疑现实。而日常生活中，伴侣记错了事情、或者单纯的意见不合，那不叫虐待，那叫人类的正常分歧。 滥用这个词，只会让真正的受害者失去被看见的机会。比如 “Boundaries”（边界）。这是我最喜欢的一章。现在很多人把边界当成控制别人的武器，你不许对我大声说话，这是我的边界。但作者一针见血地指出：边界是关于我会做什么，而不是关于你要做什么。 边界是你对自己的保护，而不是用来改造别人的工具。甚至对于 “Everyone Should Go to Therapy”这种看似政治正确的观点，作者也给出了反驳。他认为，把所有生活中的痛苦都病理化，认为只有专家才能解决，这本身就是一种对人类自愈能力的低估。读这本书的过程，是一个让自己不用用所谓的专业术语去甩锅的过程：有时候，你的前任可能不是自恋狂，他只是个单纯的混蛋；你的朋友可能不是神经多样性，他可能就是有点尴尬或粗鲁。更是一次必要的清醒，它时刻提醒我们不要用冰冷的术语去代替鲜活的、具体的、有时甚至是一地鸡毛的人际关系。 毕竟，我们是人，不是行走的病历单。不仅对于心理学这样，其他学科我认为也是类似的，包括之前我推荐的关于利用数据做手脚的，希望有更多类似的开炮让我们清醒。

The Mark Groves Podcast#481: The Mental Health Movement Has Lost the Plot with Joe NucciIn this episode Mark sits down with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci to unpack the rise of psychobabble—how social media has turned mental health into bite-sized buzzwords that distort the truth about healing, growth, and relationships. They dive deep into the myths that dominate online conversations—like “your feelings are always valid,” “everyone’s a narcissist,” and “everything is ADHD”—and explore how oversimplified self-diagnosis and viral therapy language can actually keep us stuck instead of setting us free. Together, they challenge the culture of self-labeling, discuss how nuance and personal accountability are essential for real mental wellness, and offer a refreshi...

Magical OverthinkersOverthinking About Therapy-SpeakWe’re all “holding space,” “setting boundaries,” and “doing the work”, but when does the language of healing start to feel like another script we’re performing? This week, host Amanda Montell is joined by writer and therapist Joe Nucci (@joenuccitherapy) to overthink therapy speak, the vocabulary of mental health that’s seeped into everyday life and the internet alike. Together, they explore how this language can empower us to name our needs, but also how it can flatten complex emotions, mask avoidance as self care, and turn genuine vulnerability into content. A soft spiral about self-awareness, semantics, and the messy truth hid...
