Why does there have to be a "most loved" client? I don't particularly like the word "love" in therapy because it can lead to so many misunderstandings but why couldn't a therapist love several clients equally, having a different but equally close relationship with each of them? That's what I do as a parent -- I don't love one child more than another but I have a different relationship with each one. Can't a therapist do the same?

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
