Get the Word Shamingmug. Healing oneself by working with words and letting them order and clarify the way one feels, thinks, and acts.
After a major television network offered to interview me, but then cancel the interview, lowered my self-concept, confused me, made me feel powerless—even helpless, but not hopeless.
Soon after I started to edit the index of a book I'm writing, working with words made me feel increasingly better.
Working with words balanced my emotions and allowed me to feel, think, and act correctly again. I call that word therapy.

Get the word therapymug. The act of using terms, especially, but not limited to, ones that are more unfamiliar and “intellectual” sounding, in order to give a stance more clout, and make an opposing stance feel less valid. It often times makes the user of the term feel superior, and “objectively” correct.
This is usually seen when person A is trying to make an opposing argument against person B, and they try to solidify their stance as the one true stance by ending their argument with something like, “what you’re talking about is called insert word-washing term, and it’s actually a insert descriptive term fallacy.
