The same thing happens in certain academic circles when contributions are labeled “helpful” or “unhelpful,” instead of true or false, good or bad, or more honestly: playing for the home-team or playing for the visitors.

Perhaps it is just ethical reframing. I prefer to judge morality of actions vs morality of people. Given I am not sure how I would behave in entirely alien circumstances, acting upon different conditioning, I feel like I can judge an action but not the person commiting the action

Yes, the average shrink often confuses the purposes of psychotherapy by employing a medical model muddling.

I'm disabled and I require therapy and I tend to agree. I am hard working and I function just fine in a meritocracy because of honesty and self-depreciating humour. PC culture is dishonest, weak and it makes me sick literally and figuratively. I'll keep breaking the narrative.

I like it when white knights and similar pc lowlifes out themselves by trying this strategy. They think they're being smart and avoiding detection, in reality it is just a huge red flag urging me to ignore and deny everything they said.

This point could be extended further into the whole notion of mental “health” ( which often involves value judgements)

Or at least use accurate language instead of vague labels. Eg healthy / good / beneficial are all subjective terms relative to a desired outcome. Using the terms on their own means very little.

As a child of a therapist, I can assure you the struggle is real.
