Elio, your phrase "preemptive feelings" reminds me of the anticipatory grief that I feel in advance of any potential loss, or hint of potential loss, or upcoming change.

Thanks for this. But what a brat I am for thinking “what do you mean ‘one of’ your gems? Why not the only?” Wanting this sure is a slippery slope to wanting to be his favorite person period. In Super Bowl terms, his GOAT (greatest of all time) Grandiose wanting to be the Tom Brady of his practice? Not weird or anything!!! If it helps, as much as he throws me these bones I have a sense that there are many many patients he is fond of. Like most of them. That is likely with anyone who does this for a living.
