Peter, thank you. This article reminds me of a Bit that George Carlin did about "Language" and how the American Culture keeps changing the names of disorders and such to avoid feeling back about it. Your point of professionals (professors, Speech Pathologist) modeling this "honest" language is a definite need. If we are hiding in language how do we expect our clients to dig down deep to emotional thoughts they have that are honest to them? We need to be honest in how we speak to model for them to be open with us. Great points Peter, and than you again!
