I'd say my therapist swears more than what I'm hearing here...but it is real and matches how I talk too. He would never swear at me, although I think I've said a few choice words to him...
Something I've just realized - If I'm feeling very young and small, he never swears. He is just soft and gentle and uses simple words - again matching me.
One of the things I struggle with is that telling the abuse stories isn't polite. I want to use the correct terms but when I'm upset or angry, it gets more graphic and crude. My therapist tells me "there was nothing polite about what happened to you - so just say what you feel." It is still hard though.
