It's funny. I would never have dreamed of calling my professors anything but Dr. Smith. I know there might have been a few students who called them Joe. Well, no, I don't think I ever heard any call them anything but Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones.
I don't know why therapy should be different for me. Well, maybe I do. I never was all that intimate with my professors. They called me by my first name, for the most part, although a few called me Miss Doe. They were up at the front of the class. I was in one of the many chairs facing them.
But I reveal my innermost self to my therapist. It would feel weird to call him Dr. Too clinical. But I'd never not call him Dr. without his permission.
Actually, it doesn't come up, because he's only got a Masters, but that's the way I feel with my son's therapist. Who shall forever be known as "hey you".
