Scenario

When healthcare providers use wrong names

My therapist keeps forgetting my name and using my deadname from my intake forms, and I don't know how to address it without seeming difficult.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The misuse of names in therapeutic settings can undermine the very healing relationship that depends on being seen and acknowledged authentically.
