I had my T tell me once I was the only client with whom he'd use a particular (difficult) word. It appealed to my vanity, made me feel smart and special, and at the same time it felt horribly manipulative. I was upset with him at the time, and it seemed like the comment was intended to mollify me. But maybe I'm just cynical.
