Sense of competition with persons who are important in the client’s life.
Eager anticipation (or anxious anticipation) of the next session in ways that distract.
Struggling with fantasies of deeper connections with clients, whether sexual or parental or other intense or intimate relationships beyond psychotherapy.
Is there any kind of mold that might be good for your skin?
Serious disappointment when the client cancels a session.
Session-expressed curiosities about client details not relevant to the therapy.
Obsessing about clients outside of work hours.
