No, my T just calls me by my first name. I'm debating having her use the short version that I grew up with, but that seems too intimate.

Poet, I too have issues about calling people their names, including not calling my Mom anything, or saying my H's name for years until I got help in therapy about it. When I email my T, I feel weird writing her name but I like doing it. Recently I read from an email that had her name and I was scared to say it. I think it's an intimacy issue. Sorry if I'm hijacking. I think we had a thread about this a while ago. I always wondered why I couldn't call my mother "Mom" or "Mommy" to her face, or my H his name. Hearing my name is weird too.
Thanks for this!
