[4+ months ago in a session]
[talking about my worry that my T does not like me (as a person, not romantically)]

T: Even if I would tell you that I liked you, it probably wouldn't help. I would have to repeat it every week, and you still wouldn't believe me.

Me: Mm, yes.

T: Also - it actually never happens I don't like one of my clients. Even when somebody appears unlikeable in the beginning, once I get to know them, and begin to understand how come they behave a certain way, I always start to like them.

Me: Yes, I can see that.

T: [silent]

Me: [silent]

T: [silent]

Me: [silent]

T: And now you are wondering: Am I one of those clients?

[both laugh hard because that was exactly what was going through my mind]
