She did tell me one session that I should have called her when I was struggling and I wanted to talk to her. I don't know if this counts as expecting dependence or just her willingness to allow me to be dependent.

Do you think T's get disappointed with their patients?

(A lot more than clients sometimes realize their T's are human.) I do remember once when my T was frankly appalled at me. I asked him about that the next session and he agreed, he had been appalled. I'm not sure if that's the same as disappointed. But I bet there are times they are disappointed, but I expect they try to hide it.
