No and I am glad. Does he give me his undivided attention and treat me with respect and tenderness, yes. Does he empathize with the severity of my childhood abuse and neglect, yes. Does he try to make me feel that I am "special" to him making me think he will do things for me that he would not do for anyone else, or likes or cares for me more than other clients, no.

I think any T who tries to make a client feel "special" gives the impression that they care more for that client over others. From what I have observed on this board, this is highly detrimental to the client. Holding clear boundaries encourages the client to see the relationship for what it is and concentrate on their issues and self-healing rather than the "special" relationship with the T.
