I imagine they have heard it all, so something would have to be pretty cr4zy to stand out.
I do wonder what type of patient personality they prefer the least though.

Therapists generally report that the most challenging clients are not defined by a specific personality type , but rather by behaviors that impede progress and hinder the therapeutic alliance.
"Help-Rejecting Complainers": These individuals discuss problems but refuse or reject any advice, solutions, or insights offered, focusing instead on their misery and blaming others.The Resistant Client: Often forced or "nudged" into therapy, these clients often believe they do not need help, fear vulnerability, or refuse to engage in the work.
Clients with Active Narcissistic Behaviors: Therapists may find it challenging to work with clients with high levels of narcissism, as they often present with grandiosity, lack empathy, and are not there voluntarily but because of external pressures (e.g., divorce), making genuine connection difficult."
Yeah, but...A subtype of resistant clients who habitually counter every suggestion with reasons why it won't work, indicating a lack of responsibility for their own change.
