^ Sure, life is subjective. But, when I'm seeing someone who I hope can help me through some issues... I'm not looking for someone who will tell me manipulative stories and/or get me entangled in a confidence game. (you have to learn to trust... I'm an expert... this works, you just have to give it a chance..., etc, etc, etc.)

I'm also a skeptic and a rational thinker. When someone tells me something, I'm usually thinking something like "but, how do you know? or "what makes you think so". The alternative seems to me to be the type of person who just buys into whatever is being promoted without using any critical thinking.

I'm also quite comfortable asking anyone, therapists included... "are you sure about that?".
