This only bothered me a little, and I know it's been discussed before. My session was great, as I posted. The only negative aspect came afterward, when I was walking out and saw a guy in the waiting room. I think we went a few mintues over; usually I don't see the next client.

My T said to him "I like your haircut" in this really friendly way, the way she talks to ME. Yeah, intellectually I know she has these other clients and she's probably as close to many of them as she is to me, but how DARE she be? I don't want her have any other clients, just me. I've told her that of course! So I wonder if she hugs HIM. I have this jealous part that's triggered now. I KNOW my T can care about all of her clients, but it brings me to that question again: what IS the therapy relationship all about anyway? Over and over again we wonder that. At least I do. We're not friends, but we're more than friends. It's not all one-sided. She genuinely cares about all of us. Sometimes it's just hard to grasp, even with a great session under my belt.
