I know we had a thread about this not too long ago. My T and I were discussing our relationship and she used the word "patient". I said "patient" not "client"? She told me she uses "patient" now because she read that "client" sounds too business like whereas "patient" sounds like you are caring for someone. Hmm. She's a social worker, not a doctor but I agree that client sounds business like. Which term do you like better?

It was a crummy conversation about her being my T and a professional, even though she said nothing changed. I still have trouble accepting the reality.
