I think the important thing is that you tell your therapist how what she's doing is affecting you. That perhaps it's a matter of semantics, or perhaps it's a concept that doesn't resonate, but that you find it offputting. And that you realize that it might be helpful to many clients, but that you'd rather she at least use different terminology to see if that would help.
That really shouldn't hurt her feelings. You aren't criticizing her so much as you're clarifying your needs.
