I was checking the reviews of a therapist I visited a few months ago. I plan on seeing him again, and I just haven't made it happen. One of the reviews thanked him for an ego boost, and I had also had a pretty good ego boost from him. I realized I might be the equivalent of the guy at Hooters who believes the servers actually think he's funny, cute, etc. Ha ha. I'm sure he is 100% genuine in all of his compliments of his client
The other one is a request for an opinion. There is a therapist who offers additional services. I don't request those. In fact, I proactively state I don't want those. I pay and tip in advance, so he knows exactly where I stand on that. But he has started to go there anyway. I stopped him, and he immediately stopped. This has happened twice. Do you think he's trying to increase his tip? Or is he just caught in the moment and HE WANTS to go there? If we weren't in a transactional situation, he'd be bounds out of my league. So I'm leaning to the idea that he wants additional tip. I also think I'm probably the only client who tells him I don't want that, and maybe he just does that out of habit. But I'm sure he has more presence of mind than that. What do you think?
