Words that we should use with people should be things like “trouble.” “Trouble” implies that this is not going to last forever. I also like using the same descriptor that the client uses if said descriptor is not deleterious. They might say “I have a backache.” Instead of saying “How’s your back pain?” I would say how’s your backache. Using the words that the client uses will help them feel understood and be more receptive to what you have to say.
