The first therapist I had was trained in a method where it was, apparently, his job to just sit there and provide a silent reflecting wall for me. I got tired of this, and eventually left. From this, I learned to a) place a value on my money and my time, and b) exercise my right to vote with my feet, even at the risk of hurting another person's feelings.

I don't give him credit for these revelations, though. (:
