I don't usually go to mds so it is really not a deal for me, but if seeing them we can both address each other by first names or both use titles. Usually if someone like an md calls me honey (for example), I respond with "sweetie pie" or something and then give my explanation. It usually ends their use of that sort of thing with me.

Now I'm worried that I piss my therapist off. I use her name a lot when I'm talking. It's how I often begin my sentences. Or if I'm trying to emphasize a major point that I need her to listen to. I go overboard with it, I know. Sometimes when I mean to say "you" I say her name. She must hate it.
