In reply to T acts clinical, posted by deerock on December 10, 2009, at 18:50:33
I wonder why this never seemed to be an issue with my T and me? I call him Dr. T and he refers to himself as Dr. T in conversations. Its seems natural and I feel affectionate referring to him that way. Never thought about calling him by his first name.Does anyone call their T/psychiatrist by their first name, or is it just me who does not? Curious now.
On the other hand, his mannerisms and our conversations--our relationship-seems equal, seems more genuine than clinical.He portrays himself more of a helping partner, and understanding and nonjudgmental.More like an inspiring friend..with non-friend boundaries.Some psychiatrists in the past i've experienced seemed like their face would crack if they were to smile.
