Hi Solarwind,

I just wanted to say that I agree with some of the other posters, I don't think that Ts have the same relationships with all of their clients...of course, it is a good trait that they care (it is necessary for a good T to do so), but I do think they might be more "invested" in some clients than others.

I know that my T and I have talked about how we do see "things" similarly and how we have very similar senses of humor (therefore, we often find each other quite funny). When I walk back out in to the waiting room post-session, and I am laughing 95% of the time (except for the intense, icky session), and his next client is that stern gentlemen sitting on the couch as it so often is, and he is looking at me like, "HE IS NOT THAT FUNNY..." I know my T and I have quite a different relationship than couch gentleman.

With that being said, the day T told me that he "cares about what happens to me" I had an extremely bad reaction because it sounded like he read it from a therapy book. I think I would take that shown to me in actions over words any day.
