So I wonder if they have some inside joke among the therapists about clients being their patients.
I'd prefer my therapist never used the word patient but I guess it's her perogative to call me what she wishes amongst peers and other professionals. To my face however I think it only fair and decent to call me what I prefer to be called and that is not patient. If I was referring to a name of any other type it would be okay.
