I have kind of the opposite reaction to my T's other clients. I feel a kinship with them, like we are connected because we share a therapist. I really like my therapist so I think that if he has these clients, they must be good people too. Kind of convoluted logic, but I definitely feel well-disposed towards them. I had a dream once where all of T's clients were at his house for a barbecue. I really enjoyed meeting them all and socializing with them.

Granite, I am very attached to my T, and his other clients don't bother me, so I don't think those two things are necessarily linked.

I agree w/ farmergirl--if my T didn't have other clients, that might indicate he was not a good T. It is a good thing if your T has a lot of clients because then he is probably successful and effective as a therapist. I just don't want my T to have so many that it becomes too hard to get an appointment (someone on here recently posted they had to wait 2 months for appointments--yikes!).
