My first psychologist was Dr. ___________. I don't think I ever really called him by name because I rarely use someone's name in a one-to-one conversation. My second T never told me what to call her. This frustrated me. She treated me like I was already in the counseling field which I liked sometimes. While I wish she had done a bit of an orientation to help me get to know her a little. My current T offered to let me call her by her first name in the orientation. So I do. I like that because I don't tend to want to share personal with a Miss __________.
My psychiatrist is just Dr. ___________. I don't have his first name memorized and have no desire to. So, I will just stick with Dr _________.
