Words do matter a great deal. I remember when lesbian was used to shut women up. Or the term feminist. Or telling someone they are fat or throw like a girl. I mind greatly how language is used by those in power to keep others down and I believe the western medical machine uses it to great advantage to themselves. I don't consider the therapist to be a health care provider for me.
