Like, in my case, if Dr. T's backup didn't understand something I was trying to explain, I wouldn't feel bothered in the same way I would if Dr. T wasn't getting something I was trying to say.
This! This is what L tells me. That because I have let her in to a deeper degree, I am more affected by her. Like one of my ex-pdocs took a maternity leave. It sucked because I had to see a new doctor, but it really didn't affect me at all. Even T's maternity leave didn't affect me as much as L's. I'm so much closer to L that it affects me 100x more.
