At my last appointment, I noticed that she had some stress balls and a slinky. When I asked he about it, she said it was for her clients who needed something to hold when they got really anxious.

That bothered me. I don't want her to have other clients. I don't want to think about that. I sure did not want anything in the room to remind me that I am not the only one she sees.

You know how ridiculous it is for me to think like this? I understand that I am not being rational, yet this bothers me. It makes me feel like she likes me less for some reason. There is no reason for me to think like that. She gives me a lot of attention. Inside and outside of therapy. Probably more attention outside of therapy than she does most of her other clients.

I still don't understand the therapeutic relationship even though I have been in this for almost two years. She knows that little things bother me about her seeing other clients. She makes sure not to ever bring it up, but sometimes something slips out. I know we need to work on this, but I don't know what to say because I feel so stupid when I say "I don't want you to see any other client but me." You see how that sounds!
