I'm not a big fan of absolute words like always, all, everyone, nobody, never, etc. So, of course not "all" therapists care about their patients to the same degree. That would be inhuman. Absolutes don't work.

I do really take exception to your idea though, that at the end of the day, helping professionals like teachers and t's only care about their students and clients because it is their job. I'm a teacher, and I know I care about my students (and yes, to varying degrees) sincerely and beyond the scope of my day. And I'm NOT delusional about the relationship and caring between my t and I. That is very real; not some put on for our one hour a week sessions.

It sounds like you are struggling with your own confidence about your relationship and trust in/with your own t. I hope you get it figured out.
Thanks for this!
