I was fortunate enough to not have therapists who were too terribly tied up behind the psychobabble. Honestly, most of the terminology only became apparent to me when I arrived here on the forum. I had therapists who engaged in dialogue with me and were only about helping me find my way through my crap. I never particularly felt like they were "analyzing" me so much as they were helping me analyze myself, and that was actually pretty empowering. In retrospect, I understand some of the therapy approaches, etc. they were utilizing in my therapy, but they weren't hung up on the language or so set in one approach that they were inflexible or dogmatic about it. That would have been a hard "no" for me (I tried and rejected a few therapists that seemed too psychobabbly).
