So that's one answer to the "are all clients equal?" question for him.

Yes, that's decent and fair of your t. And good for you for being reliable! That's a big thing in my book.

I'm more referring to therapists being intrigued and stimulated by clients who have a colorful, interesting life story to tell...as opposed to, "My husband is always the one to choose which movie we see and I feel like I have no power." You know, the standard stuff that t's hear 100 times a week.
