True or False
1. I have attatchment issues with my t. true/false (trust issues yes, authority issues yes; not sure if ths is what you mean. some kind of problematic love feeling, no)
2. I have jealousy issues regarding either my t's family or my t's other clients. false
3. I started therapy blindly, completely unaware that such issues would even arise. true (or any other issues)
4. I want to be t's favorite client. true only in one sense
5 I secretly believe that I am t's favorite client. false in any sense
6. I think about therapy more than any other element of my life. false
7. I love my t. false
8.If I were to find out that everyone else here on PC had the same t as myself I would be ok with that. And be able to continue to offer support and caring to my fellow PCers. true

my $0..02 - its a little concerning to read other PC'er comments on how much they love their T and how much T's love means to them. No criticism is intended in saying this; but if this is essential to therapy, I guess I am missing the boat.
After all thsi time I still think of her as Mrs _____, and if she cares for me it doesn't seem to strike me anything like it does others. I like her a lot, she's kind, and authentic, and is very family-involved which is so admirable to me; I feel lucky to work with someone with the wealth of experience & knowlege that she has, and I realize & value her talents as a therapist - but love - well I guess not, so it seems I am failing at therapy.
