I definitely prefer client. Patient is too medicalized and implies a certain power dynamic that isn't there for me in therapy. I will never strip down and put on a paper gown for my T. I expect her to see me as the expert in my life and for her to be the expert in psychology that I have indeed hired to provide a particular professional service. Fortunately, my T agrees and prefers client too.
Thanks for this!
