'With kind regards'

My ex-T used to sign her emails this way, it seemed quite quaint, old fashioned and yet warm. I was wondering if this was a therapist's phrase as I don't know anyone else who uses. Even though it felt warm at the time I kind of dislike it. I'm quite glad that my new T doesn't use it. I'm curious, do orher people's T's use it? I was also wondering if it was a British thing.

Haha. Mine just signed his name until I pointed out that he had a default signature so it came up as his name and then his formal signature also with his name. He didn't even know. It was rather amusing.

I think it's sweet, but old-fashioned indeed. Is your T older?

My T signs her notes with "hugs" or "love." What does your new T use?

I write 'kind regards' at the end of emails with people I don't know well, but people I do know I'd be more likely to end 'best wishes' or with my T usually 'see you Wednesday'
It might be a British thing.

No, my T doesn't end her emails with that.

My T puts "I have love for you" or "Take care".

"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"

It was the thing in the '60's!

I think it's an older variant, not a therapy thing. I sometimes sign "with warm regards, atisket." Pretty close to kind.

I'm British and we often use kind regards. We think that warm regards or best regards sound American in the UK, so maybe it is a nationality thing.

Mine usually signs with just her first name, sometimes "warmly, firstname" and one time she just used her first initial which for some reason really made me feel good. Yeah, I'm weird like that.

My t just signs his email with his first name--there's no love or regards in there.

I don't think the woman puts anything. Maybe her first name sometimes.

I write Warm Regards or Kind Regards to my t. She writes Best Wishes and Take Care followed by her first name.

I think it might be a Brit thing more than anything. I like this turn of phrase. As you say, bit old fashioned yet injecting warmth. Better than ending with "Best", at any rate!

My old one used to sign it "love, K" until she stopped loving me and started signing it "take care."

It is quaint, and warm.

I would address my T with "gratitude and affection", because I do care about her so.

I sign most of my professional based correspondences with 'kind regards' or 'kindest regards' or 'regards' depending on the communication we're having. My Psychiatrist signs his emails with either 'regards' or 'kind regards'. I didn't actually realise it was considered old fashioned or unusual? I'm Australian though so possibly some British influence coming out there.
