So this isn't just today and it doesn't particularly bother me, but I thought her choice of words was interestingly blunt. My T regular refers to orgasming, or masturbating until completion, as "getting off". Anyone else have a similar experience where the words T used were a little unexpected?

Same here- I've asked and he gave me some explanation that he is talking about it in everyday terminology. Should be more natural for me...
 Must admit that I, OTOH, sounded like a biology lesson.

I'm just curious (and confused) as to why this thread is posted in four different forums ...
- Psychotherapy - Romantic Feelings Towards My Therapist - Sexual Addictions - Survivors of Abuse

Because I know that I most likely won't get a response in some of them, and the thread applies to all of those forums.

You could ask T, "Instead of saying X, please say Y" On the other hand, if a phrase is triggering, it might be worth exploring it. How do you feel when T says that? Who else says that? How does it feel when you say it? etc.

I think if my T ever said those words, I would fall off the loveseat onto the floor in a coma.
 Not that I have a problem with using the term myself, but T...ick!

My T is ALWAYS very blunt. Sometimes her words surprise me too. But she's totally comfortable with stuff she says, probably because she's said it to hundreds of clients.

The one I see used a decidedly slang term for the male member because she thought I was being too detached in describing an early childhood situation I had going on with an adult relative. I repeated her term and asked really. She repeated her term and said yes and gave a silly explanation about why she had used it - something about trying to get my attention to something. I reminded her that as a lesbian, I had little call for a plethora of synonyms for that particular body part.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
