doesn't listen properly.

thinks i'm doing something for x reason instead of looking for the grain of wisdom in what i'm saying...

tries to get me to talk about something that HE finds more meaningful (thus undermining what it is that i find important).

i think that he is working on this and getting better with it, though.

most of the time... we have a good connection and i really like him and find that he is quite empathetic and soothing and kind. so i'm able to tolerate these little breakdowns in attunement.

he was also pretty bad with saying he would email me and then not emailing me. actually... he is pretty bad with emails in general (with responding). or if he responds they are fairly bland one liners like 'i hear what you are saying lets talk about this on friday'. not very verbal via email. sigh. tried to get him to change but i figure i can accept that since he is so accepting of me (mostly).
