Social norms around organized religion, respectability, race, gender, etc. compound this perception. In this article, I examine how the use of profanity in Clinical Pastoral Education can help students experience personal, social, and physical freedom. Association of Clinical Pastoral Education outcomes, demographic data, and a student experience provide support for this assertion.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF PASTORAL CARE & COUNSELING}, author={Gilmore, Jeremy}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={196–202} }
