Yes. And my T is a sweet sensitive family/play therapist... and he drops his own F bombs when warranted.

I do, though not a lot of f bombs or anything.. Just when it comes out or feels warranted. I find it humorous when I swear in T, because then uses the word too.. assuming some kind of mirroring thing.. It's the only time I generally hear T swear!!

I tend to be too careful and precise in my word choice to curse spontaneously. If I thought a curse word would carry my meaning the best I wouldn't hesitate.

I do sometimes. I've dropped the f bomb on occasion. T usually matches my language when I have in the past and I have to say hearing my T say the f word was very um interesting!! It just doesn't sound right coming out her mouth.

It took me a few sessions, but I now swear openly...f-bombs and all. Since I started swearing, my T will do it too. I absolutely love it when my almost 70 year old, prim and proper looking T drops the f-bomb!!!
Thanks for this!

I just learned how to say the f-bomb in therapy. I really don't curse ....maybe a couple of times a month, but never the f-bomb. My T uses it liberally to talk about my abusers. She cheered when I used it. But, I haven't used it since.

I have a potty mouth. I try to control myself in professional environments, so not too much cursing in therapy.

I did call my daughter's abuser an @$$hole once, her face turned pale and her eyes widened.

Guess who doesn't curse in therapy any more?
Thanks for this!

I swear more in therapy than I do anywhere else. F-bombs all over the place and I just let it fly. Outside of therapy I hardly use the F-word at all.

It's a rough road.

I did. Last session when I called my ex-T a sob. That was, in fact, the last session.

If you are cursing AT your therapist, it's probably time to find a new therapist unless one of your issues is anger management...I had never been out of control in sessions until the last one. I have lots of problems, out of control anger isn't of them.

I am in my 50s and don't care if the therapist swears or not.

I would never curse at my therapists because both ex and current T are the dearest people I know. Ex-T said "sheet" a small number of times (twice IIRC) after many months of therapy and I remember being a little startled when she did. I suppose she's more open to saying it since she works in a high school and teens will always be more foul-mouthed than older clientele. However, I still cannot ever imagine either one of my Ts dropping the F-bomb.

I curse in therapy much more than I do otherwise. I have a feeling that the same applies to my therapist.

I don't curse, as in have spontaneous outbursts of swearing; but when I quote other people in my life, I don't clean up their language at all.

Now that I think about it, I might use mild swearing (s**t, d***n) when admitting my therapist might be right about something.

She loves to work with teens, so I don't think I could say anything that would shock or offend her.

Yes I do, sometimes. Not at my T though. Even when I'm mad at him, I don't. I just say I'm really mad or p*ssed off. How polite of me

I don't swear AT my T but I have sworn about others. He has used a couple of swear words but not the S or F word (yet?). But not at me. I think if people started swearing at each other, then that could be a real problem. I'd tell him to go get stuffed and walk out if he swore at me. I've never sworn at any of them as much as I'd like to, because I like to behave myself.

I curse in my day to day life, some days much more than others, But honestly in my 3+ years with my T I haven't at all not a single hell or damn. I know when I first met him and we discussed his specific rules /regulations kinda stuff he mentioned he preferred that cursing not be a constant and I respected his wishes, It has actually helped me find ways to verbally approach things and analyze myself looking for actually descriptions rather than a %^$%^*@ !

I think its just a respect thing for me. But respect is earned , I have told a few medical doctors off in the past because they were rude or just plain stupid and condesending.

Oh God yes. I do it ALL the time. Including the F-bomb. My therapist is very understanding and she has been known to throw out the words too! For some reason that comforts me.

Yes, and my therapist does too. Actually, at the beginning she told me I was way too guarded and polite.

Not usually. I am not a big swearer these days. But I have sworn once or twice in t (when I really meant it). My t is okay with it.
