Good. But it's not hard to spot people who deliberately apply these techniques and it always makes me suspicious. Or maybe the ones I spot are just bad at their craft.
The problem is, even the people who do this stuff deliberately still get you to talk about yourself, so you can't help but like them a little.
Therapists/Counselors are maybe the only people who can do this deliberately and not have it seem like they're moving through a checklist like a lizard wearing a people suit.
