67. I don't use the "F" word as a rule
Thu Sep 19, 2024, 05:25 PM
Sep 2024

neither do I swear very much. I try to use language more creatively.

During my first session with my present therapist, she used the "F" word - I guess she was trying to put me at ease. I thought "I'm not that easily manipulated, lady" I've been with her for ten years now and we are training each other well on how to communicate effectively with each other- it may take forever. Early on at one point she hugged her knees and I thought that she thinks that we're at a pajama party.

I must say that when I do come out with an expletive, people pay attention because it's such a rarity.
