Saying that it is only a job is something that they probably have heard before. It seems a pretty normal thing for a client to say and wonder about. Getting irritated probably proves she is being genuine about what she said. That's how it reads anyway.

I've challenged my therapist in a way parallel--that he has had things work out and doesn't know what it feels like and can just go home to a nice comfortable life. He doesn't show irritation but sometimes does self-disclose about a difficult passage he went through, not in depth, but to remind me that it is all perfect and wonderful.
She was irritated. She's probably sick of being accused of forgetting about me.

I didn't mean it as in " this is just a job to you." I just meant, she can put it all away for the night, all the emotions. It's a job, she gets a break from it all, she can put it away for the day or weekend or when she just needs to get away from it. I never get a break from the emotions it all brings up.
