Anyone ever used an expletive on their therapist? Or maybe gave your therapist the finger?

I swear a lot but not directly at the woman -just near her.

No, but it seems like it should be a safe place to do so if the therapist really does have "unconditional positive regard."

If the therapist is trained well in handling countertransference, it shouldn't be a problem. It can be very informative to take a step back and seed what that anger is actually coming from and a good T would know how to do that.
That being said, I've never felt the need to curse at my T. I don't mind cursing and do it a lot in my every day life. In session I try to direct my anger to talk about the people/things that are actually pissing me off. If anything I have a problem expressing anger so my T is often amused and actually seems to encourage me when I start cursing. |

I found this article that talks to Therapists about handling angry clients well:

I have, but not in any way with real power or any anger behind it. He made a suggestion in the session, which I had mixed feelings about, so I gave a little two-word exclamation, then proceeded to do what he suggested. We have a really solid relationship so I don't feel like I have to censor myself to protect him from any of my less appealing feelings.

I can safely say that if any one of those people tried giving me a pointless speech like the one listed in that article - I might well explode with the effort not to seriously attack them.

I have done that. I didn't get such a speech, he knows better than that, it would have just riled me up even more. I'd expect him to know what I'm upset about when we're already at the point where I'm cursing, it's not like people do that randomly.

Haven't done it - I really have to be angry to curse, and I won't let either of them that far inside my head.

No...I cannot fathom what would bring me to do that, with our style of therapy and my personality. I've swore for emphasis, rarely, in regards to describing a stressful situation. But we don't have "heated" or "angry" therapy sessions.

I VERY rarely curse period. The worst thing I have said in therapy is something sucks when talking talking about my anxiety.

I curse in therapy. I can't recall ever cursing *at* her though. That would feel entirely different and I don't think I've ever had the impulse. My cursing was one of the behaviors I noticed that triggered my beginning therapy. I'd never used to curse. Thought it was a terrible habit and unflattering. After I was diagnosed with PTSD, all my cursing made more sense, and as I worked through it, I cursed less, though I still sometimes do. I also tried to lighten up a bit about my judgement of it.

I don't curse AT people ever. I may rarely curse in proximity of other people, but not AT them, nor do I accept that kind of treatment from others.

I've never cursed at my current T. I've never felt the need to do that. I've been angry at her a few times, but I didn't express that to her. But even then I didn't feel the need to curse at her.
I don't think I've ever cursed at previous T's. At some I really wanted to curse, but because of my anxiety I haven't done that. |

Only T I've ever sweared at was ex-T. It was because she wasn't answering any of my questions about termination. So I said "f' you" and walked out. Otherwise, I have never cursed at a T.

I never cuss at my therapist during my session . its consider rude and inappropriate for a client to cuss or give the therapist the finger at all .
