No. If someone is special to me, I don't have to consciously try to convey that. I try to demonstrate to my T that I respect and appreciate her by keeping my appointments, being on time, thanking her as I walk out the door, etc. I also give due consideration to the things she says and make an effort to follow through on any recommendations she makes. However, I don't feel that's about showing my T that she's "special." I suppose she is, in a way, since I'm very socially isolated, but the fact that she's the only person I have to talk to doesn't feel like something I need to emphasize.
