I tend to be very untrusting of therapist's personas in general. the first T I tried to work with we were awful together as client and therapist. She didn't reveal much to her clients which left me very scared. Ultimately we ended up at the same church and eventually being friends. I discovered that despite having a lot of money she lived quite simply with her husband. She was also involved in a great deal of charity. IRL she was much warmer and personable than I had found her to be as a T.
Current T... I thought for sure he had to be a fake... but he is SO consistent. I have since subscribed (with his permission) to his wife's blog... and to see him through her eyes he looks exactly the same as what I see. Now I am also trying to work with a therapist he supervises and when she shares stories yet again he is the same loving person I see. Most of the time I like his authentic self just as it is... he has a few quirks that bug me but nothing major.
I don't trust art T to be authentic AT ALL.
