She uses my name when it is time to go back for the session (Hi [name], are you ready to come back?) and that doesn't bother me. It IS my name after all. But when we're in the session and she uses it during the conversation (for example, saying "oh [name], that must have been hard" or "come on, [name], you can do this") it is unsettling for some reason.

I know that it is so strange to not feel okay with someone saying my name - I don't dislike my name at all, for the record - it just feels intense when she says it in that room.

And her thinking about me outside of the session makes me also wonder if my stuff is so different from other people that she has to think about how to handle it. I want to just need the normal amount of help - not to be some special consideration.
