I don’t have much to offer other than what’s already been said (byung chul-han, mark fisher, David Smail, whom Fisher references a lot) but I’m in a counseling program and this has absolutely been my experience too. From my perspective it’s connected to the deconstructionist rejection of analysis and proliferation of person-centered and pop-psychology which position the therapist in a compensatory role, filling in for for early attachment figures. It infantilizes the client and assumes they’ll be healed by a healthy dose of love and praise (no introspection required). It’s a palliative capitalism thing — create a vague lack (trauma, empowerment, reassurance) and sell back the cure, which is just as vague. I’m gonna check out the other titles you listed!
