I like it that my therapist uses my name in deep conversations when we feel closer. I wouldn't like it if he said my name every other minute. I like others to refer to me by my name now and then too - but not just in every context. Using names mutually is nice, but if someone always calld me by my name when I am not as direct with them does bother me. Fortunately, with my therapist things are very mutual with regards to using names.
