Do you think that some therapists start to detach from clients after a while?

I've seen my therapist for 4 years. I was triggered today when I found a 2yr old text from T on my old cell phone. She wrote saying how sorry she was for not calling me and checking how I was after something bad had happened. I was surprised to read it because I forgot how she used to pay me that kind of attention, and I felt sad.

I don't need special attention, but I'm just worried that I'm becoming a client that she can't be bothered with anymore. I've noticed in the last few months my sessions have been shorter, and there are things she used to say in session - things she used to notice about me that made me feel cared about. I don't think she can be bothered anymore.

I know I'm trying to mind read, but assuming I'm not just jumping to conclusions here - I just feel that maybe she's gotten bored with me as a client. Or maybe I've just gotten to the point of TMI and now she knows all my bad stuff, she doesn't see me the same anymore. Therefore she treats me differently. I mean they're only human right?

Thanks for reading.
Thanks for this!
