Hi badhaircut,
You bring up some really good points. Actually, you made me feel a lot better about this.
I think it is that enmeshment between therapist and client that can be, at the very least, counter-productive to therapy.
As far as talking about this to my therapist, yes maybe in some round about way I could. I'd like to phrase it as a compliment because I've never given him one of those.
But how? "I really like that I'm not special to you" sounds ridiculous or worse sarcastic.
