CBT T drives me insane with "Help me understand…. XYZ"

I've been in a corporate environment most of my life and it is not PC to ask a simple "Why". "Help me understand" is horrid corporate speak. And shrink speak I suppose.

Kind of like calling a "problem" an "opportunity". Just call a spade a spade!
Thanks for this!
