Current T (who I've been seeing for less than a year) has a client she's seen for about 18 years -- that's just a couple of years short of how long she's been practicing.

I am jealous of such sustained intimacy (especially since I don't even have any really close friends I've known that long) -- I imagine the client has access to her (and is seen by her) in all sorts of ways that I don't and maybe never will.

But, I don't get too caught up in it because of course, I remind myself of reality i.e., I'm cooler / awesome-er than all her clients, past, present and future, put together and multiplied a few times over, of course.
