My point of view is solely that of a patient. In my experience, depending in a sense on the personality of a T, most T's very much care for all of their clients. Many clients may find that hard to believe, but the point of view of the T is quite different. They know and expect they will have a substantial percentage of "difficult" clients; clients with whom they must struggle, clients who will be uncooperative and hostile, clients whom it will be very difficult to like. But the T's know that in advance and understand that that's simply something they have to expect and deal with.

I really doubt that people who were not basically kindly, helpful and altruistic would become T's. There are so many other occupations that pay just as much if not more in which you don't have to subject yourself to the whims and conversation of crazy or half crazy people. Absolutely not. T's are basically and fundamentally good people who are out to help others. They didn't stumble into the profession because there weren't enough bank loan officer spots that hiring day. And any person who doesn't really belong in the T brother and sisterhood will spend little time there. There are too many other things they can do. I think that being a T is an extremely demanding profession with an income that is much less than one can earn in other situations. Misfits will not last long.

The T's you meet who have more than two or three years experience will be dedicated people, people you can trust. They may not be a good match with you personality-wise, but that doesn't mean they're not good T's or empathic T's or dedicated T's. You do have to find people you click with. Hope this helps. Take care.
