Hm, another good point. I assume you mean if I (or another client) gets upset and freaks out in some way at MC (or other T), then he "rewards" that by giving me the reassurance I'm seeking. In other words, if the way to get want I want is to say, "I'm freaking out! Please just tell me everything is OK!" and he responds by saying, "Yes, of course it's OK," then that teaches me to freak out to get what I want from him...
Sort of like if a kid only gets a parent's attention for acting out, then they'll keep acting that way just so they can get the attention.
