E005 Therapy Speak | Therapy words. Instagram wisdom. Zero self-awareness @ Space in Between by Vesna Lakovic van Kempen
We need to talk.Because somewhere between “I’m setting a boundary” and “I don’t have the capacity for this,” healing language turned into something else.In this episode of Space in Between, we dig into how therapy-speak—once born in safe spaces and healing circles—has become a kind of emotional armor.A performance.
