Even better, when my leaves me a message he says his full name plus the name of the place where I go to therapy, hahahahahaha.... He said, "Hi this is T Smith from the blah blah blah...." I find it hilarious. Actually the very last message he left (the other day) he only said his full name and not where was calling from, lol.... I should have told him I didn't call him back because I didn't know who it was, hahahahaha

Oh, and I forgot the 2nd part of the question... T has occasionally said my name in session.... like, during those "lean forward" moments when he comes forward in his chair, makes strong eye contact, and says something with great impact.

I never say his name in session.

When I leave a message I say his first name.
