He does have one little blind spot where I think he doesn’t seem to realize how poorly he handles one particular thing, but now that I have figured out what was going on I can avoid the pitfalls of that.

Generally though I think the profession would be enhanced if there were more therapists like him. He plays a leadership role in several organizations and conducts many trainings, which gives me reason for hope.
Thanks for this. I would love to experience a session with this T.
