How do you address your therapist?By his first name?Do you call him Mr. whatever his last name is?or just hey you?
*I did the hey you a couple of times in the beginning when I was too afraid to speak to him at all*

I address him by his first name. He has told me that one patient calls him just by his last name and another calls him "buddy." It makes him laugh. He has never referred to himself as Dr. H. He's honestly not hung up on titles. I have 2 Ph.D. degrees and I don't go by Dr. either.
I totally did the hey you with my first T. I was just uncomfortable with her though. 😕
