has patience

A bad therapist:
is distant, cold, excessively silent
doesn't care if I leave the office in pain
forgets about me after our 50 min is up
is directionless
is forgetful of vital facts
is dismissive or blaming
is suspicious of what I say
dislikes me openly
is arrogant
talks down to me
excessively rigid boundaries
doesn't care about me or the outcome of therapy
