Hi BSD, I am glad you picked up on the "regard" issue that arose in the earler thread. I think raisin's comment was on the mark when she posted "The therapist-client relationship is so different from others that sometimes it seems it's impossible to use the same language." Amen!I also suspected that maybe "regard" might be the acceptable T-word used to describe their love for us. And carrying this further, that "positive tranference" is the acceptable patient/client word used to describe our love for them. Funny how we must speak to each other in these euphemisms. Is it just a fear of lawsuits? Maybe we should start a dictionary of T terms ;)
Thanks for the post - Lucie
