hi violet,
i just reread my posts and they seem contradictory. On the one hand, I say that I recognize that the T/client relationship is unbalanced and I don't actually WANT the chance to balance it, if it was given to me, because of the difficulty and disillusionment that might follow. And then I turn right around and say that the imbalance bothers me and I want equal footing!

So how do I REALLY feel? (What a task to figure that out....!) I guess I prefer relationships that have equal footing (or close to it) from the beginning, and that even if I would not choose to input the effort into "balancing" any given relationship, it still irks me to be "unbalanced." Strange, sort of. I wonder if anyone else feels this way about relationships? Why are relationships so darned complicated???
