Your feelings are valid. I would not do well with a t who was basically a blank screen, I have to feel that person is engaged, etc........No calls between sessions...no beverages....waaaay to strict for me. I mean, how can you relax in that atmosphere...... If you feel "impoverished" you ARE impoverished.........you can talk to him about it and probably nothing will change, or look for another t....that is always a bummer, but some t's are not good "fits" for our personalities. Did you interview him before seeing him? It is a good idea to interview 2-3 and then try to choose who you feel would "fit" you.
