Growly—I think there is fit between client and therapist in a personal sense (like if you met them in a different context you’d be friends) and a professional sense (like they are the ones with the best skills and experience to help you).

Sometimes those are the same person, but I think mostly they are not. In my own experience the personal fit has far too much potential to backfire and cause problems, and it’s better to seek the professional fit. I don’t know which Kashi is for you, though.
