about this topic. He said that when he takes on a patient, it is because he really wants to help them get better. So while he didn't say anything about favorites, he did say he tries very hard to make the connection feel like he wants to help with whatever issues are going on.
We went further to discuss transference, when is it healthy when isn't it. And the notion of being considered special by therapist/analyst/p-doc.
It was a very enlightening discussion, so thanks for the thread it helped me jump start a good discussion.
And since this week I have been feeling more dissociated with my real life, this really helped me feel more connected to my p-doc. Who is also my analyst.
