My former T was open about this; he said of course there are certain patients a T enjoys more than others for a variety of reasons. Just like relationships outside of therapy. So I think your Ts answer was good since he wasn't being fake or dishonest.

CantExplain If T told you what he gets out of it, you would probably try to feed into that and become what you think he wants you to be.

Sort of like what CantExplain said-he can't get caught up in your pattern. He prevents this, in part, by being non-reactive so that you both will eventually get to the core of things.
