        The first therapist had been…not of the good.  Xander doesn’t remember all that much, just raised voices.  The next thing he remembered was Giles finding him and apologizing, coaxing him out from under one of the waiting room chairs he doesn’t remember having hidden under, explaining that he hadn’t meant to scare him, but they are Definitely Finding Another Therapist.  Giles doesn’t break out the capital letters much.
        This new one is much better.  She asks him to talk, but doesn’t get mad or tell him it’s all in his head when he usually doesn’t.  Which is absurd, really, of course it’s in his head, they’re trying to fix his brain from the outside.  He doesn’t know why it bothered him so much last time.
