I feel like he really is trying to understand where I'm coming from, but at the same time not enabling the behaviors and ideas that aren't healthy for me, he's provided resources and perspective that I feel like with enough time could be extremely beneficial to what I'm trying to accomplish with these sessions

Really chill and down to earth guy who offered interesting insight while also giving constructive decisions that didn't feel forced.
