I'm glad that you feel 'special' for C and that he said it's not a big effort for him to have that unconditional positive regard towards you. That's a really nice thing for him to share with you. I think it's very nice and healing to feel 'special' when we are in therapy, even though as nottrustin said it doesn't mean that other clients can't be 'special' - in their own special way!!

I'm working on not being ashamed of these feelings that come up. It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one experiencing these things! Thank you for sharing.
