((((( Granite ))))) Maybe I shouldn't say T-doublespeak. Maybe I should just call it T-speak.

it's my observation that Ts seem to have a vocabulary of their own, for perfectly ordinary things. Maybe it's based in the fact that they have to come up with non-shaming terms for a lot of sensitive stuff, but in the end they seem to invent a lot of bloodless, neutral-in-the-extreme terms in general.

just an example: Acting out, say in petty crime, risk taking, drug use, etc, becomes "tension reduction mechanisms".
And ways a person finds to get through overwhelming fear, mental anguish or stress become "coping strategies".
And, instead of voicing a personal opinion that someone acted like a pig, T says, "that man has some serious impulse-control issues". you see?

T-speak has been a frustration for me at times, when I have translate it into English before I can figure out what the heck T actually said; at other times it hits me funny... like that time. At least laughing about it did help me a bit with my "tension reduction" on that day.

there, now I've hijacked my own thread; I really wanted to hear about why rigid timekeeping boundaries are thought to be so therapeutic.
