I think this is a really important point. And this thread has made me realize that actually my therapist does treat me in very particular ways according to my own preferences. He sets up his office slightly differently for me, and there are several situations that he handles in a way that won't stress me out. I assume he pretty much does that for everyone, so it's more "particular" than "special". I really appreciate how adaptable he is to my own preferences, and how hard he works to understand me.
