Thanks Mik,
I see him again on Friday. We're still on twice a week for now. I hate to mess up my relative stability.
I do laugh at him when he sounds like Stuart Smalley. That's why he doesn't do it much any more. :)
My main impression of the psychologist was the same one I get with most mental health professionals. They all manage to make my therapist look pretty good. He didn't share his impressions of her with me. I asked but didn't push.
I've tentatively asked him whether he felt qualified in my problem areas a time or two. He kind of visibly squares his shoulders and tries to act confident. He did on another occasion tell me that he worked for a while under a psychiatrist who had expertise in the area, and worked directly with it himself on an inpatient basis. If I remember the story correctly.
It doesn't really show though. Of course that might be because he's not really directive and doesn't want to influence my condition in any way. Who knows...
