Not really. Sounds like your T has you pegged with the care-taker observation.

I think I value therapy BECAUSE it is all about me, as it is designed to be. Therapy isn't selfish. My therapy focus in that hour isn't discounting anyone else or putting myself before others. It's just putting myself right where I should be but tend to neglect. I tend to put myself on the back burner outside his four walls, although I'm getting better about nurturing myself, so one hour a week or whatever to focus on nurturing my life seems just a healthy thing to do.

People do many things to put themselves first in healthy ways -- exercise, music, art, lunches with friends, book clubs, etc. Therapy is just one of a long list of healthy self-care activities, and is no more selfish than any of the others.
Thanks for this!
