Psychology can be the worst coercion tactic since you can hardly criticise it.
Like seriously, how do you even respond to “You need to love yourself!” when it’s used as an attack. When you highlight that it’s controlling behaviour to psychologise, you can always receive the response that your critical remark, phrased as deflection, is a sign of distrust in psychology or distrust in general and that that is a sign that your pathology runs even deeper, which makes the original attack even more correct.
Leave psychology to those who have actually read the books and the modicum of social skills needed to empathise.
