Ok, so let go of the "we are equal" part. Turn it around. Does your Therapist *deserve* to choose his clients? Do you have faith that he makes competent decisions? Do you think he is doing you a *favor* by seeing you?
Self esteem is a tricky issue because it colors how we look at just about everything and Therapy is *selfish* at its basic core. I struggle mightly with that!
Can you tell yourself you will get better, faster with the best therefore giving up your seat sooner to someone else? Or how about, having a good theraputic experience will compel you to help other people use/feel good about therapy, which results in the greater good.
It is hard though, isn't it?
