I read somewhere that it's not right for a therapist to tell what to and what not to do, yet my memory is uncertain.
Must be nice to get paid just for having casual conversations, while not disclosing the method or purpose behind this, just calling it "positive psychology". Probably means there is no method.

As for the advice, I would find it offensive. Also what is the basis for it? Is he an expert on exercise or on how to talk to people?
