Lately, the client, who openly talks about his financial success in business, has been having difficulties with the construction workers who are building the client's dream home. The massage therapist, who lives in an apartment, has recently become irritated by the client's personal problems and is having a difficult time performing her duties as a massage therapist. Which of the following best describes the relationship?
