sailboat, you are right about that. I have asked my therapist if she has ever had a client that annoyed or frustrated her. She said that that is rare, but she has had a few. So, you do have a valid point. Therapists don't always 'like' their clients. I guess they try to act like they do.

My therapist has validated that I am an 'entertaining' client. It was good to hear that from her. So many times we (I) think I am boring her to tears.

I am happy for you that your therapist made you feel special.
