My goodness. He does sound a little .... impotent.

How interesting that he feels -impotent- when around some people (in this case, you, but if something about you triggers that feeling within him you can rest assured that the feeling is already within him, just waiting to be triggered).

I think you might have (have had?) an impotent therapist.

I hope you have the opportunity to find a competent therapist, Fuzzy!
