This was my first session and Michael was extremely tentative to what i had to say and listened without prejudice. I can not wait to he able to talk to him again.

The most important thing is that he listened. I rambled in a stream-of-consciousness manner, one issue flowing into another. I guess this provided him with more detailed or nuanced information than what I provided online. He seldom interrupted this pattern. His questions were pertinent, and I was willing to answer them. He gave me a preliminary assessment.
