When I was looking for a new t, I kept that rule in mind. I was looking for as much experience as I could find (with all of the other criteria I had in my mind) but, for some reason, I was wondering what exactly does all of the experience bring? Besides the obvious, more experience with different kind of clients. Desk-t, to me, with her 30 yrs of experience, was distracted and burnt out. That is how it seemed. She had had it with this kind of work and didnt care on the deeper level I needed her to.
As I wrote that about dt, I realize that was my mother. She didnt care on the deeper level I needed her to, she didnt want to be a mother and didnt miss and opportunity to tell me so. I just remembered that.
