I guess I care how much I get them, maybe the word for that is "attunement?" I certainly care about how much they seem to care about me, and how they get me or don't. I would say being generally intelligent and skilled would be high up there. As for specific training, maybe. I like talking therapies, so I wouldn't be keen to a purely CBT therapist I don't think. I think I like therapists with a mix of training, it would seem dangerous do work with someone who say only did Freudian analysis.
I care what kind of people they are, what their sense of morality is, what their personal hobbies and interests are. I'm not too picky I don't think, but I do care. I think I just need to be able to relate to them as a person that I like.
