The things our T's call us!!!

avoidantavoidantMember
I was wondering if your T has ever surprised you by saying something or calling you something you didn't expect.

One session last summer I related this to T after she was trying to get me to connect with people more.

I was sat at the back of a bus going home from work; idly gazing out of the window when the bus pulled up at a stop. I noticed a lady sat on her own outside a cafe having a coffee and a cigarette. Well I caught her gaze and gave her a smile and she smiled back. As the bus pulled away I mouthed 'bye bye' and blew her a kiss!!

After I told T this; she just grinned at me and casually said "you old tart, you!!" Big Grin

My T has called me lots of things and most of the time it causes some disruption LOL. He called me "prissy" once and he has yet to live that down. He has also called me a "reverse narcissist" joking around. He says it's all about me but only if it's something bad LOL. I tend to blame myself for everything. He has called me lots of nice things too, like intelligent, insightful, kind and sweet. But never an endearment, likely because he is a male T and I'm a female.

I don't think my T has ever called me anything other than my shortened version of my name. And I secretly love that she does that - her sister has the same name so for her I think it is a natural thing.

So i can't think of any special names or things BUT. i have a list a mile long of all the things and names i have ever called my T. Some of them are bad swear words...... and funny terms of endearment or teasing names.

Her and I have ongoing banter about a number of things - her and I might say a phrase or 1 word and we can smile at each other as it reminds us of a joke we have had together.

my t's call me the melting pot of sweet names: sweetie, sweetheart, darling, hun, honey, cute (trust me - I'm adorable), etc

in their heads i imagine my t's call me several impolite words. Smiler

Strange but true fact, my nickname growing up was Sunny/Sunshine/Smiley because I was always happy and could make people laugh. *fist pump* go go gadget coping mechanism.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
