i see a lot of emphasis in this forum on people needing that acknowledgment from their T that they love them. this has really baffled me and made me wonder if i am missing something in my relationship with my own T as i have never had that need for him to love me or as this thread is discussing to even know that he cares about me. i have imagined that he enjoys my company but my imagination has never gone futher than that. i dont see that its T's responsibility to love or care for me. it is his job to sort thru the mess of me and help me make sense of it, point out the errors in my thinking and the other wonderful things he is trained to do to assist me on the road to healthy human being.
