I remember a few posts about different words people don't like. One for me that gives me the heebie jeebies is work. I'm ok with work related to my job. But when it's "work in T" gack. Good work, hard work, any work when talking about t is a sure way to get me all weird.

Anyone else have a word that just doesn't sit with them?

[pbutton]

Intimacy.

I need a little throwing up smiley to go with this post. Bleagh.

I absolutely hate the word "trauma"....I shudder just thinking about the word, let alone hearing it or saying it out loud.

There are others - like "abuse" and "rape"....

Mine is perfectionist.. T says I am perfectionist.. Automatically I get defensive and say no I am not.

[missbelle]

How about....."you people"

[BonnieJean]

termination...as it relates to therapy

boundaries (reaction- I see red with anger) and needs (reaction- I wanna beat someone) - as they pertain to therapy...

mindfulness (my T's favorite word lately which I have forbidden him to use in front of me anymore).

[murray]

vulnerability

[lostmyway21]

Reality.

T: is that the reality of the situation?

I can't count how many times I've heard this.

"needs" is another word im not a big fan of. They told us in primary school that the only needs people have are food, water and shelter. Now the system has changed. Now suddenly the whole population is full of people with 9999 needs! Its like the whole world has been watching too much Oprah and Dr Phil! So that is why I don't like that word. :P

Woman- shudder

as in relating to me as "a woman" blahhhhhhhhhh

S E X........ ugh

Um, no. My T could read me the phonebook, she can say what she wants. She has a soothing voice and a nice accent... and she can pretty much do no wrong anyway

There are words that bug me when my mum says them, 'fresh' or 'refreshing', for instance. I have no idea why, but it makes me want to shudder.

(the word "medicine" is a huge trigger to a difficult childhood event)

Disliking that phrase sounds like a healthy reaction to stereotyping. (I mean, I don't know the context where you hear it, but I can't actually imagine any context where it would not sound really inappropriate to me. Unless one is talking to one of the Village People or something.)

For me, well, a lot of words relating to the body. Including "body".
Also "relationship". When I have to use it I tend to make a pause before to force it out. Luckily, my T has never referred to the "therapeutic relationship" or anything like that. I would probably have an anxiety attack if he did.

I don't really like the word triggered.

[WikidPissah]

"tasty"
I have no idea why

"disturbed"
again, no idea...my mom uses it a lot though

"malignant"
for obvious reasons.

My T used it once- stg along the lines of that our relationship is improving. I don't remember it exactly cause I've stopped listening after the our relationship part and went to my NO-mode.
IDK why I find it so hard to acknowledge that we do have some kind of RS, glad to hear I'm not the only one though.
