Is anyone else afraid to swear in therapy?

I want to be able to swear in therapy! I know that sounds so damn weird, but I want to do it! Swearing just lets me get my TRUE feelings out and gives me relief. For example, there's a huge difference between "I'm very angry with my mean boss" vs. "I AM F_CKING ANGRY WITH MY G0DDAMN BOSS"

I'm just afraid to swear because I don't know how my therapist will react. (She's a total girly girl and looks high maintenance.)

Now, that's high maintenance thing isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just makes me uncomfortable with swearing for some reason. Like, maybe she'd be disgusted with it because it's not a girly girl thing to say? (i'm a girl.) idk. I feel like I might be able to get away with "sh_t", but definitely not "f_ck" or "g0ddamn" or "b_llshit". I'm afraid she might be put off by that and think negatively about me.

I used to swear with my old therapist (he was a guy), but I ditched him for him being unethical. But I did start off with saying "sh_t" a few times. I did that to test the waters. I gradually worked my way up to "dammit" and then "f_ck", but I only said f_ck once or twice. But with my new T, I'd feel awkward asking if I can swear. "Mrs. T... Can I swear?" lol. I just don't know if I can get away with saying "sh_t". I'm scared! Help!
