Actually, for me, this wouldn't be about me being a paycheck (she barely charges me for sessions anyway so it's a moot point), but I would feel burnt by the fact that other clients are as important to her as I am! That the tenderness and closeness we share is replicated with other clients in other slots! I mean, cognitively, I know that's true, but being confronted by it like this would hurt. Ugh, this is horrid for you.

Exactly! Thank you for putting it into those words. I thought I was special to her, but I'm not. Someone else is just as special if not more. It crushes my heart.
