For some reason, they often think being positive is a good thing. When in reality what's needed is a bit of validation of the negative to help the positive go down easier.
He's inexperienced, you say?
The sad truth is that it *is* an unequal relationship. Even a long term hard fought relationship like the one I have with my therapist is sadly inequal. I can never ever mean to him what he means to me. It'll never even come close.
