In reply to What do you call your Therapist?, posted by cricket on July 5, 2005, at 13:11:47
Seriously, not using names is a major deficit of mine in general. But oddly enough, few people use my name either. If my husband or my therapist uses my name, I know what they're saying is important to them. My therapist says the same about me.
On those rare occasions that I do use his name, I use his first name. That's how he refers to himself.
I have a lot more trouble with my son's play therapist. She's a PhD, and refers to herself as Dr. XXX, and my therapist refers to her as Dr. XXX. But my son calls her by her first name, so I think of her by her first name. Therefore I make extra sure not to call her anything at all.
