Pharmacology isn't well founded either, as I understand it. That being said, I myself am taking Lexapro, just to see if maybe it helps. So far, it may have, hard to say what is the effect of the drug vs the effect of it being sunny again etc.

Psychobabble seems a bit strong of a word though. I mean, every science and half-science and none-science out there comes up with their own words. There's a well-founded reason for that. It's simply so experts in that field can talk to each other without having to first arrive at the definition of a concept. Experts that came historically before them have already done that, so that the new generation can now use the words with a large confident in the other person using it the same way.

But maybe I'm missing the point. So yeah, therapy is 2 people talking. If it's helpful or not really depends on the 2 people. I think one of them being trained can be helpful, but as with all things, training can only give you tools, the question is how you use them. Right?
