Healing Culture & Therapy-Speak: When ‘Boundaries’ Become a Weapon ?

Modern relationships are full of “healing language” — boundaries, triggers, gaslighting, attachment styles, self-care… 🧠✨
But what happens when that language stops helping and starts hurting?

In this episode of The Open Table Podcast 🎙️ we unpack Healing Culture & Therapy-Speak—and the moment “healthy communication” becomes a shield, a weapon, or a way to avoid responsibility.

Because a boundary isn’t supposed to punish.
And “I’m triggered” isn’t supposed to end every conversation.
And labeling someone “toxic” shouldn’t replace real repair. ⚖️

In this episode, we talk about:

✅ The difference between real boundaries vs. control disguised as boundaries 🧱
✅ When “therapy terms” become a shortcut for judgment 🏷️
✅ The sneaky ways people use healing language to avoid accountability 🪞
✅ How to respond when someone weaponizes “mental health” talk in conflict 🗣️
✅ A healthier script for boundaries that creates connection—not distance ❤️‍🩹

💬 Question for you:
Have you ever felt dismissed by therapy-speak—like your feelings were turned into a label? What was the phrase, and how did it land? 👀
