You seem torn about whether you want him to behave personally or not. You seem to be crying out for him to be authentic, compassionate, and in relation with you - you want an intimate connection which by its very nature is personal.

When you say you don't want him to take things personally, I read that you want him to be able to withstand an intimate connection with you without him acting out - even if you are acting out. This seems understandable to me and it would be within the skill set of a humanistic therapist.
Thanks for this!
