Most of the therapists I saw did this rarely or never. The one I saw the longest and with whom I shared the most intimacies rarely ever said my name. In my experience, therapists tend to be socially inept, and their training and countless hours of clinical isolation have turned them into hopeless weirdos. |

T says my name often. Usually as a greeting or at the end of the session but always when I disassociate or when T wants to drive a point home. Early in my relationship with T, I was called the wrong name. It was similar sounding and I have a unique name so it's something that happens often in my life but that nearly ended things right there because it was suuuuper awkward. I finally brought it up 2 years later.... #progress

He called me by name for the first time in 5 years in the last session and I loved it.

My T greets me and says goodbye to me in the waiting area or with his office door open, so it would be breaking confidentiality to say my name there.
Mine doesn’t use my name much, I rarely use his either. Two-person conversation, as others have said. |

When I visit my dentist, we greet each other by name and shake hands. When I visited therapists it was just awkward and bizarre start to finish. |

She does occasionally, and it is generally a signal that she is about to say something very serious or something she really needs me to hear. It's just the two of us in the room, so there really isn't a need to say each other's names. I've never said hers (to her). She only says mine when she wants to emphasize a point.
