Is anyone else on here have therapist that has zero tolerance for swearing/any vulgar in their sessions?

That may have been interesting to watch play out, but nice job holding back the urge!

My T rarely swears, but when they do it is purposeful and just seems necessary for some reason. I don’t swear quite as much in session as I did in my post, ha, but I’m not sure I’ve been through an entire session without at least one profanity.

My T actually asks me what I’m calling them in my head. It’s kind of nice how open they are to how I communicate and willing to not take it personal in any way if I am. I don’t ever share the details, and most of the time I’m not actually swearing at them in my head...but sometimes I am. It brings a small grin out if I am and then we can talk about what just happened that made me want to push back at them.

Hearing other’s experiences makes me really grateful for my T. We hold really strong boundaries, but at the same time I think we both have the freedom to bring our authentic self to session.

I hope you either find a way to make this situation work for you and/or someone you feel like you can be you with as well.
