Side note: I wonder if the T "terminating" 90 people, simply meant, officially closing their chart? That's usually something left to linger and isn't always a top priority. Clients leave, finish treatment, disappear, etc. And T's don't always get around to closing the chart. I can't imagine he/she means otherwise... Having 90 ACTIVE clients is insane.

As for being a "needy" client. I can see how it feels good, special and then it also feels like "wow you ARE doing more for me, but it doesn't quite feel like enough still and it makes me feel guilty about needing it or needing more"?

Client's are needy in different ways, and T's figure out what they are able to do. For some clients they make a decision that yes they'll have more contact or an extra session. And sometimes when they do the "extra" they do get a bit tired at times, especially when it doesn't feel like enough. T's are a human, and sometimes they do take it a bit personal when our clients aren't doing well. But T is responsible for his process and you are responsible for only yours. If T is giving you these things, I would say take them, but yes also appreciate them and realize he's human and is doing the best he can. As I am sure you are.
Thanks for this!
