First impressions are crucial and while his technique of not responding might be valuable to your therapy sessions-it doesn't seem like a good personality match for you-and even so I would hope he would care enough about you to sit down and first explain his treatment Approach so you can ask qwuestions and find out if his style is compatabile to address your needs. I don't think you should continue to meet with a professional who made you feel like you described. There are so many excellent therapist's out there who when you meet your perfect match-wll be such a comforting thing for you and allow you to safely open up and explore your thoughts and feelings without a blank stare response. Goodluck and you did a nice job of trying to give things a second chance... But remember, your therapist is not like family and friends--you can really choose your own to fit you best with no obligations to "have to try to make it work" :).
