Solar,

I get what you are saying. As if indicated before, the whole set up of therapy is rather artificial at first. However, given the right set of circumstances an alchemy can occur. The "me" in therapy somehow transforms into "we".

Don't ask me how or why. Perhaps it is a willingness of both parties to fully engage, perhaps it is just because the two are simply together. Perhaps it's a measure of consistency of expression. I don't know.

But a caring can develop and be quite palpable.
