I understand what you mean. With students, regardless of their age, everyone knows who the teacher's favorite and least favorite are, usually. And when there is one "special" one, there's often a lot of resentment since it's really not fair (though a good teacher wouldn't be so obvious).

But it would be disasterous to know that of your therapist. A lot of us want to be the favorite client- the one they'd want to be friends with outside of therapy or the one they care extra about. In reality I think they care a lot about their clients and probably do give more attention to people who are having a harder time. But if they think you are able to cope without their help, they will back off a little and not jump to answer texts or emails right away. That doesn't mean they care any less they just want to empower you.
