Ex-T and ex-MC maybe mentioned other clients a handful of times over 6 and 4 years. Current T mentions them more often, sometimes as example of things, like "I have this one client who has opposite political views to mine, and I'll let him talk about his views, but I don't engage with him on any sort of political debate." That was related to a discussion we were having. Things like that are fine with me, though as someone else said, I wonder if he ever uses me as an example with other clients and what he says.

The one time it *did* bother me (and I told him) was pretty early on in seeing him when he said I think about therapy and the therapeutic relationship more than pretty much any of his other clients do. It made me feel awkward. Part of what I said in response to that is that maybe some think about it, they just don't tell him. Him, and I guess he also said I was the first client to ask for transitional object. But before I did that, he'd told me about a client who stole a stone from his office and used to hold it, and only told him about that in his final session. OK, I guess he talks about other clients a fair amount...but not in identifiable terms. (He once said he avoids details to the extent that if he was talking about me to my H, even my H shouldn't be able to realize it's me--not that he'd talk to my H about me, was just an example of how careful he is with not giving identifying details).
