We all want to feel special. We are the center of our universes! Probably every other patient your T sees wants to feel special too. AndI suspect to the T's we ARE all special, just in different ways. One is special because they're funny, another because they're caring, another because they're trying so very very hard to make therapy work, etc etc etc.

As a matter of fact, in interpreting a dream, my T has told me that I need to feel special. I agreed with him ... but didn't ask if he considered me special. No point. We've got other things to talk about ..... like why I need to feel special.
