A person's name is the sweetest and most important sound to him in any language. Dale Carnegie I don't know what's going on with this service lately. I notice that lately, my name on this site is often distorted by colleagues: sometimes they call me Alina, sometimes Anna (it happened three times). And it seems to be such a small thing that I don’t even want to make the other person feel guilty by reminding me of incorrect treatment . On the other hand, it would be okay in oral speech, I didn’t hear it, didn’t remember it, something else was heard, but this is a website, you can read it here before applying to make sure. But in a hurry, few people remember about this. However, speaking about personal boundaries, it is important to notice what doesn’t suit you, what you don’t like, what causes you indignation. But it seems like a trifle... Or maybe not ?Share your opinion in the comments, have you been called by a different name (especially in correspondence)? How did you react? Once during a supervision session, psychologists shared the “jambs” from their practice: they were late for meetings, they overslept consultations, and they even forgot their clients’ stories. They also forgot the clients’ names, even calling them by a different name. Yes, we are all not perfect, things happen. With me, of course, I have not yet reached the point of amnesia of the client’s name (because I always write a cheat sheet for myself on a sheet of paper on which I write down the details of the consultation, the client’s name). And yet the name for important to me. Therefore, I try to approach this question with all responsibility, because the Name is one of the foundations of our self-identification (that is, the answer to the question “Who am I? What am I?”). Try asking a three-year-old stranger “Who are you?”, and most likely he will answer either “I’m a boy” or “I’m Tolik” (for example). Of course, a name does not determine a person’s future life to the same extent as, say, gender. But if gender and appearance are the physiological basis of self-identification, then the name is the psychological basis. The name is our connection with ourselves. However, the name still reflects the most important periods in our lives. Each of us also has a child’s and an adult’s version of the name. There is even an exercise to activate the needs of the inner child: “What does little ... (client’s name) (Ira, Nastya, Zhenya) want?” Almost everyone has a family name, or a name that only their mother or grandmother used to call them, then a name appears that is given by friends, and subsequently - different versions of a “working” name - official and “for our own.” With this, I propose to comprehend and finish the article . I would be glad if you share your opinion on the topic raised in the comments. I would be grateful if you like this article and thank me by saying “thank you”".
