My trauma T uses my name in emails and when he greets me before we speak on the phone, or in session.
My ex-T, which was a very poor relationship, used to say my name all cutesy. Several times I thought it was fine though I grimaced inside. He even left me voicemails where he kind of did a sing-song repetition. I have a very distinct ethnic name and he is a white guy and this upset me a lot. So when I brought it up with him he was a **** about it. It's funny to see how much I tolerated. I probably have five voicemails from him in the weird sing song style.
