My ext-T never generally used my name but once when I was in an emotional state she used my name, I sensed that she was doing it purposeively there, it in some way connected with the child in me being spoken to by my mother, it felt like she was using a well practiced technique. It didn't feel wrong, and could have been helpful. Following this I tried out a T for two sessions, I decided to give this T my name in abbreviated form, which my mother does not use. This T used my name constantly, to excess, and as it was this abbreviated name it felt really odd.
