They are experts at blaming the client rather than thinking anything is really about them.
Plus, I know that I don't get particularly upset or take it personally if a student does not want to take my class or if a client hires a different attorney. If they want to deal with someone else, it usually means less hassle for me (less to grade, less whining/*****ing at me, less paperwork, etc).
Logically I agree 100%. Unfortunately feelings are rarely logical.

I know I am my T's job. I know that I am not unique and that I am replaceable. I know the boundaries and the theory and the process to all of this. I have discussed it with my T many many many times but, like I said, feelings and logic don't always go together.

I know that everyone is different but I personally can't imagine spending that much time with someone in such an intimate setting and not caring.
Thanks for this!
