Does your T ever swear when you're talking together? Do you? My T hasn't, but she did say something once that implied the F word. She said something like "and do whatever the - you want". I thought it was really funny. I kinda find it hard to imagine her swearing, but at the same time I'd be a bit surprised if she never did. I don't swear when I'm with her, but when I'm alone or with a friend I do a lot. How do you feel about whether or not your T swears?

They have both used swear words a few times. I would not say with me but they have not sworn at me either. It does not matter to me one way or the other. I swear, but whether the therapist does or doesn't is not something that matters to me. It does not make them more real to me in any way.

I like when she does because she seems genuine. Once we were talking about texting and she said "I text my kiss but they never text back. They are all teenagers and they ate all a--holes right now". It cracked me up.for some reason. She will usually swear in regards to what an awful expletive expletive mother I had.

Yes T swears often... I don't usually swear but she does.

I normally don't swear with T's because generally they don't- this one however is much more down to earth (and thankfully is longer term), and she swears all the time. She even used the C word which caught me off guard.

Now I rant and swear like a trooper and she will swear too.

She likes to swear about my mother and in general about people who have no regard for others.

It feels natural when she does it.

No. 1 swore way more than I did. The one time I did swear in front of her, she made a big deal about it.

No. 2 swore mildly in our last session. I never swore in front of her.

In general I swear infrequently so that it has maximum rhetorical impact when I do it.

My T repeats the swear words that I use. I don't know why maybe because the 2 words I have used in session were both the worst words you could possibly use. He has sworn in a sentence but he sounds so uncomfortable doing it. I don't think he is much of a swearer IRL.

[PinkFlamingo99]

Yes, then she apologizes. I'm always like, don't apologize. I like that she's "real."

[AllHeart]

Oh I swear alright. My t has said I have a mouth on me. I love it when my t swears, especially when she drops the f bomb on rare occasion.

[Bipolar Warrior]

I swear all the time. I'm particularly fond of the T-word, but the F-word is used quite frequently as well. Neither of my therapists swear much, but they've never had much of a reaction to anything I've said either. My private therapist once stopped herself from dropping an F-bomb, which I thought was hilarious.

I've definitely heard them both swear, though, it just pales in comparison to my own swearing.

[ruh roh]

My therapist doesn't swear in front of me. I don't know if she does in real life or not. I swear some in session, but not often.

[velcro003]

I swear like it is my job outside of work, and have ocasionally sworn (??) sweared? in therapy. She has used some swears as well.

[ScarletPimpernel]

We both swear sometimes.

[nottrustin]

T has said a mild swear word a couple of times. I don't know if she swears outside of our sessions or not. I have to be really angry to to say the harsher swear words. So not something I do regularly. I have said a minor swear word once or twice with T. It is just not my thing.

I wouldn't like it if she were to swear on a regular basis. I am not comfortable with anybody who swears regularly especially the harsher words.

I freely admit that I tend to swear in therapy. I love a good swear word. But I also have to admit that when I hear my current therapist swear or one of my two previous therapists swear, it would throw me. It's not that I was startled or put off with their swearing, it was just that I am always surprised when professionals I work with swear. I personally love a good swear word. It feels like to me that nothing really expresses what I want to say better than a really good swear word. I sometimes think that my current therapist just swears, occasionally, because she's trying to "bond" or connect with me. Her tendency to do that has almost disappeared--I think she realizes that it doesn't really fit her persona.

I swear sometimes if something really, really upsets me. Rarely my T will swear and I love it. Its so out of character for her and very genuine when she does it. It shocks me because its not like her to do that.

[Argonautomobile]

No, but I wish he would.

Those "Gosh Darns" get irritating after a while.

I'm not much of a swearer (I'm more a swear when I stub my toe on the furniture kind of swearer), so my T and I don't swear much at all in session.

T swears when she gets mad or frustrated. I dont mind it.

[SheHulk07]

I swear on occasion during session, and my T will say a few words here and there. T has said before that if it offended me to let him know, but it doesn't. Actually makes me more comfortable with him.

[junkDNA]

yes, we both swear rather freely

I and her have dropped a few swear words at times - f word, adult version of poop, and darn.

Sometimes I've said "female dog".

[RedSun]

Yes, we both swear, but T swore first!
Though usually she just echoes it if I use it. Usually the f word. I love swearing.
Actually, T blasphemes too, which I don't normally. It doesn't bother me at all, but I guess some people would be offended. It's a regional thing, and where she's from it's commonly used.

[Chummy]

My T doesn't swear. But I also don't swear in session. I do sometimes swear outside of therapy. I think I might have used **** in sessions, like I feel like ****. And maybe asshole, when I talked about my brother.

I don't think I would mind if my T would say a swear word sometimes. I wonder if she use swear words outside of work.

My therapist occasionally uses the F word - interestingly, he says it in English only, even though that is not our mother tongue, nor do we do therapy in English. He never says the F word in Romanian. On the other word, he says the S-word in Romanian, which sounds to me more powerful than the English word. He has also made an obscene gesture a couple of times to express his thoughts. He never uses these words and gestures toward me, but rather as a show of empathy when he is angry about something bad that was done to me. I like it that he feels so strongly about it when I've been wronged.
