Hi Jannie,
I have a couple of psychologists in my family so I asked them each how they feel about their clients. They both said they love their clients, highly respect them, don't like them to suffer, respect each client's process, have empathy for them, and want them to do well. I asked if they ever have a client they don't like and they each told me no, but they have had clients who "frustrated" them because however hard they tried to help that particular client, they sometimes were not able to as quickly as they would have liked, if at all.

I know that doesn't help how you felt about your T's statement. I encourage you to talk to him about it though. I am certain that he would not want you feeling this way and would like the opportunity to explain what he meant.
