Sometimes it is hard to accept the caring and we might look for ways to not accept it.
To make it something more familiar to us, because we know how to proceed when something is familiar.

T's care about our emotional well being. They show their caring in many ways; my therapist's caring shows in her being non-judgemental, sitting quietly and patiently with me, laughing with me, providing a kind of 'holding', an intimacy in the therapy relationship, making room for me and even coming in early when I needed an extra session, taking my phone calls in stride and making them useful parts of my therapy, encouraging me to share anything... lots of ways--some I have had to learn to recognize and appreciate.
