Well, to be fair, my T was saying it to me and I'm the kind of person who doesn't have to like someone personally to work with them. I just need to respect them professionally. For me the two don't necessarily go hand in hand. I have people that I like that I wouldn't trust alone with a penny (but hey, they're hilarious). I have people that I wouldn't want to have lunch with but I respect them as experts in their field.

Granted, I'll say that therapy is in some weird middle ground but I haven't decided yet if a synergistic relationship is good or not.

And, I'll add, he's a skills based T. At the end of the day it's about implementing skills and I kinda think anyone with decent training who doesn't actively annoy me could sit in the chair and do that.

So, yeah, I mean, it's subjective but also food for thought at the same time. Sometimes we lock ourselves into thinking things have to be a certain way and mixing it up a bit can help us.
