Does your T swear with you?

I just love the creative way you got around the censoring )

My t doesn't swear, it doesn't seem to be her personality anyway. I don't swear a lot, but if she got offended or something when I do swear, I'd have to find a new t

No, I don't swear in or out of therapy and neither have the t's I've had.. I mean, in therapy at least. It would depend on the word as to whether I'd be offended or not. I've always been able to express myself without swear words, and not exactly why some people think it makes a person more 'real' just bc they use profanity.

I thought of this thread this morning, bc my T wrote me back an e-mail congratulating me on something I had to force myself to do last night (something that is good for me), and on the phone yesterday she said that sometimes it's enough just to get out of the hole-meaning my apartment, bc that is what depression wants. Anyway, she wrote me back today and said "Watch out for that deep hole, it can be a B..."

Thanks T, and oh so true!

First T swore as much as I did, current T doesn't really swear and I don't swear as much with him either. I think he night have repeated a word I said once or twice but that's it.

I tend to be quite uptight and I think he swears to loosen things up. Whether or not that is his goal, it has worked and we both swear very occasionally and only for emphasis.

My T swore after I did. He will still sometimes do this, but it's rare.

I swear a lot at home- mostly when I'm by myself...one of the eccentricities I allow myself since I live alone.
I don't so much around grandkiddo...or anyone else.

I hardly ever swear in therapy. CurrentT doesn't swear in my presence. I'm not sure how often she does in her RL.

PrevT didn't swear in my presence, either. Once, she almost referred to a movie character as a tight-***, but she caught herself. It was funny.

The psychiatrist I saw years ago (he's now in federal prison-but he's not the one who sexually assaulted me) used to curse all the time. He explained the usefulness and versatility of the f word.

I hardly ever swear in session and usually hold myself back. The only thing I remember saying in T is "I feel like s**t".
I don't think I've heard my T swear in my presence. I do wonder whether T would swear more if I used swear words more often. I sometimes feel like she adapts her language to mine. Hmm...

Sometimes ... It's very natural and the timing is appropriate .

Mine did initially, probably trying to connect/relate with me because I was young and most young people swear (?), which was rather funny since he's 70+ years old. Now he does on occasion, but not very often because I rarely swear. (Although I do clearly remember telling my shrink that he had to get me out of the hospital because these people were f*&$^% crazy! Haha. Little did I realize, that I was the only one making a scene...)
I think they just go by your norm- swear if you do, just to relate to you.
