Thanks, these are good things to consider. There are things he's really helped me with, though I feel like the pandemic messed with some of that. I was starting to list things, but pretty sure you weren't looking for a list--more suggesting that I consider what my therapy goals are whether he's actually helping me with them.
I imagine the mere fact that he's a therapist is one of the reasons you wouldn't be able to tolerate him. I could think of at least a half-dozen more, too.
