... my experience was completely different. Basically I went in, talked about shit that was troubling me, and he basically tried to find different things that were at the root of the issues. Never told me what to do, never had any bullshit mantras. Just gave me the pieces to the puzzle and let me put things together. It was exactly what I needed at the time.
