T tried using my diminutive nickname once and I bristled and told her not to do it.
I voted "If it helps the therapist remember to whom she is speaking, I don't object."
She has many patients and I don't think I'm memorable enough to remember.
Sometimes it annoys me, because I'm the only other person in the room, but after the experience with my pdoc forgetting my name, I figure she can keep saying it if it helps her remember.
