Feeling special to the T is certainly not bad in itself, but in my experience it can sometimes get in the way of good therapy and good decisions. I've seen situations where a therapist really, really cares but isn't doing any good. Then you may avoid considering new strategies or a new therapist because T really cares and you don't want to hurt her feelings or give up being special to someone. I stuck with a no-good therapist because I felt very special to them; it can be like a drug.
Is this something you can talk to your therapist about? It sounds like it might be an important issue.
