lol. I'd never thought of myself as being jealous of my therapist's other clients. I'm actually quite interested and peer down the hall to see who is leaving, or who is waiting.
I guess it's because I'm the only me he sees.
But I was telling him the other day about a client who had seen her therapist until her death and left him a sizeable amount in her will. And he said "I need a client like that." When I complained I didn't have a fortune, he lamely added that he didn't mean me. And I said "Well, I don't want it to be anyone else!!!". I can't figure out if that's because he might then retire and be unavailable to me, or if I'm jealous of this imaginary client who would be able to take better care of him than I can.
Those issues just crop up over and over and over again, don't they?
