wow.. nope, pissed was not a swear in my ultra-religious home as a kid either. Not that they used it.. it just wasn't considered a swear.

i swear in therapy and i don't even blink about it. idk, but for me, swear words are sometimes the exact most effective way to express something. That is just me, not meant about anyone else - but fiddle dee dee isn't going to express what i need to sometimes. i am detached more when i am spending too much time thinking about the "right" words... the right ones are the ones that work for a given person in that moment.

i swear because i want to be myself in therapy and not a version made for therapy. Life is messy, i don't clean it up for therapy.. you know?

i don't personally have any issues with swearing of any kind that isn't derrogatory towards someone or used as a weapon. My T swears - rarely, but he does. It is common for T's to use the same language their client uses, to a point, so that the client feels comfortable... but my T has sworn in his own way too... it's never been an issue either way.
