I remember the first time I heard the "F" word spoken out loud. It wasn't at home, but out of the mouth of my dorm roommate in college [in the late '60's!]. I was aghast! But through the year, I got desensitized to the word and would use it, too. Fast forward over 50 years. Egads.

I actually love using the word, but only for special occasions! I actually love the idea of the "F*ck It List! Just saying it makes me laugh and I think there's a lot to be said about humor.

I appreciate this post.

I have felt triggered by hearing profanity. Cursing.

For me the frequency shifts to a different band that feels violent.

I no longer react, or don't sense it, but prefer not to be around profanity. If it is a client and we are far enough along in the journey…I might ask if there is another word that facilitates the feeling that chooses. Profanity is highly charged. Usually.

My earlier message sent itself before I was finished. I went back to edit then decided to let it go.

I recalled a business conference I attended in Atlanta a few years before Covid (bc). About day 3 the business owner who had a huge following, multiple 7 figures in revenue, and a few hundred attendees at this conference, participated in a skit encouraging the use of the β€œF” word. During the skit, it went from β€œF” word to Fuck. Then nearly every sentence included Fuck. The professionalism I had admired tanked.

Not long after that I ended my membership. When asked for an evaluation, I spoke my truth. I never heard anything. A few weeks later the owner appeared in a dream where she was integrating my message. Maybe it was validation I wanted or maybe she had an insight.

Thank you for sharing Dhiana. We all react differently to different triggers. For me, a properly placed curse word helps my body and voice move energy that otherwise gets stuck and loops in my nervous system.

I trust and believe there is no right or wrong. And we can honor where each person lands in their own system. I hope my intro helped define the signal I'm carrying. Often we fear violence because it is done to us and we feel we have no power to defend, protect or fight back.

This list and the nullification method taught with it give us a way to get free of what is violent toward us without fighting or defending or protecting. It sounds like you felt that and I'm glad. Sending lots of love!
