That sometimes, when you work in human services (and it's not exclusively related to the mental health field but any job working with people), those humans are going to get on your nerves.

T and I both have "set" clientele for the most part. If one (or all) of those clients frustrate, anger, and/or sadden us, it doesn't mean we love our clients any less.

My T grinned because I called her on what she said (as a client), but since I am a service provider also, how I feel about my clients (I love them) is also true for T. A really roundabout reminder that she loves me and that will never change (as she expressed to me recently).
