T and ex-T both call me a client. Ex-marriage counselor called us "patients." At the time, I kind of liked "patient," but now I think I like "client" better. But I don't really like when my T refers to "my clientele," as that just sounds weird to me. Not sure why that feels different than "my clients," but it just does. Although, I feel "client" is a bit distancing in a way, like someone's lawyer. I think we need a completely different word.
