My therapist has used my name once, that I recall.

The first time was actually a bit jarring because she was expressing empathy about an upsetting situation, but she addressed me as if I were a child... specifically speaking to the 'little girl' and called me her 'Little (WrkNPrgess)". I don't know that I minded, and in fact felt some emotion from it, but I think I gave her a look, because she hasn't done it since.

She might have used my name speaking to me directly once or twice since, as an adult, as well. In those cases, it was fine. I didn't think one way or another. However, I feel a bit odd in general when people use my name because, well, it IS direct attention isn't it? It brings up a lot self-conscious feelings on a subtle level for me any time, with anyone.

Another thought about this is; I don't address my T by her name directly, at all.

This actually bothers me a bit. Why not? I'm not practiced at calling people by their names. I'm not good at that kind of conversation in general. Now I want to figure out a way to do so. It seems impersonal. We have conversation twice a month for almost two years and I've never said, "Well, ______(T), this is what I think..."
