Me too. I can relate to my T's upcoming leave. It reminds me that I'm just a client, she's not my friend, she doesn't love me (she said so herself), that she makes money off of me, and that I can be replaced. It sucks to have someone so important in your life, but you don't mean as much to them.

But you're right. If they were just a friend, they probably wouldn't have the significance as they do now. There's something special about the therapeutic relationship.
