I liked his no pretension attitude and grounded and matter of fact viewing of life. I could say almost anything and he wouldn't think it is anything bad. Everything is allright and ok.
And I liked his positive attitude. He never made a big issue out of anything - Somehow I thought with all the kind of dirt people talk to him, he still managed to see the positive side of things. That was the main thing for me.
And he admits things honestly. He admitted he doesn't necessarily like all his patients. He admitted many times he didn't know how to help me. He admitted he is not very good with therapeutic talking. He admitted he gets very angry. He admitted he pretends many times that he likes his patients.
So all these honesty was a very big thing for me.
And I like because he is normal.. He is not extremely warm or extremely caring or out of the world smart or always there or anything.
And I actually liked he made mistakes, but then tried to correct himself. He didn't diagnose me properly first but then later acknowledged that I was depressed. And now also I think he missed out several parts of me - all the emotional problems. But I like him. Because I think he tries to learn and correct himself. And that is the main quality that I like.
