What do you call your therapist?

she has always called me by my first name; I called her Mrs ____ for the longest time, till she insisted that I use her first name.

Still after all this time when she leaves voice mail for me she begins by saying, "this is (first and last name)". As if I could ever mistake her subject of conversation as coming from anyone else, lol

I already felt really close to him so it was strange he didn't even know my name. I don't think my T keeps notes or records so I guess it isn't surprising. I was probably the only client he had with my first name, so there was no need to know my last name. He just writes me in as "sunny" on his calendar.

Unique like a snowflake!

Or a sunflake, or something like that
