That might just be your first impression of him. I think you will not know his position for sure until you have a conversation with him. Therapist are trying to figure us out at the same time we are trying to figure them out. It took me a while to trust my t. This doesn't mean I always agree with her. And if I don't I let her know. But I do think she is trying to help me and is willing to listen to our varying points of view. For me very often my exchange with my t is based on who shows up for session. She is patient with us in that way.
