I think it's easy when we get close to someone to want to take care of them (for some of us). One of my Ts has worn the same sweater 6 sessions in a row(!!!) and I really do hope he owns something more; I want to take him shopping! (An issue of mine. ) I truly hope he got some new clothes for Xmas! Also, I know he has issues sleeping, so I was telling him about something my other T recommended for me to try.

I think sometimes it's a mix of caring, awareness, and wanting to help "fix" other people...no one wants to see someone they care about hurt or uncomfortable. It's kind of hard to stifle these impulses when you know (or even can sense) that something is off!
