My previous T called everyone "clients", it was a policy of the place where she worked, everyone was a client. Even my GP calls everyone "client" instead of "patient", again, policy stuff. My current T used the word "patients" last time I saw her and it felt so weird and not ok and too much. She was talking about therapy clients in general, just said "patients" instead of "clients", not about me, but still, I don’t like it that she calls her clients “patients”. Which word does your T prefer, are you a client or a patient?
Idk, I feel like I definitely qualify for therapy client, but I'm not f*** up enough to be a patient.
