I don't call him that in therapy, but if I send him emails, I do occasionally call him that. I don't think he understands why I call him that. It started a while ago when he told me that sometimes female Asian clients have a hard time opening up to him, so he tells them to think of him as an uncle, since I guess in that culture it's easier to talk to a male if he's a relative, or something like that. (I'm not Asian, by the way.)

So now it's just a sort of playful term of affection that I use sometimes. I think he actually likes it. Anyway, he's never told me not to call him that.
