First, if my therapist ever swore at me I'd think she had been abducted by space aliens. She is the calmest, most gently spoken, and most careful user of language I have ever met. She has to be. She's a trauma therapist who specializes in treating the worst kinds of trauma experiences. She treats survivors of mass shootings, terror attacks, child sex trafficking's survivors, child pornography survivors, very complicated traumas. I was sent to her precisely because of her unique skills. If she ever swore at me, I'd dissociate, lose 3 days of time, and wake up in some foreign city. She's very sensitive to the impact her choice of words has on her very fragile clients.

As for me, I can with absolute certainty state I have never used foul language against another person, ever. It's so traumatizing to me because of what it's attached to I'd never use those words toward another human being, ever. The words dehumanize and degrade the soul.
