Sometimes too nice and it confuses me. Mine often frames up things he wants to get across in a far less direct way than he could be and hints to that too. I think is so I get the message without getting hurt by it as I am pretty self critical already. Sometimes its too soft at the time but later when i think about it i wonder if he is trying to find a nice way of telling me he is sick of listening to me and my problems. I might be better with it being a bit more direct. Sometimes after a session, his words sit with me and I think ohhh so what you really meant was I am getting on your nerves when I do this or that every week. So I get hurt anyway thinking he is secretly frustrated with me or hates me etc.
