It didn't take many sessions for me to recognize that my T was showing signs of caring (meeting me at the door as soon as he heard me come in, saying he was finding himself looking forward to seeing me, sharing little things about himself, telling me he wanted it to be a safe place for me, remembering little things and asking about them the following session, hearing what I was not saying, just his easy mannerisms) to name a few. The difficult part was letting myself belief and trust that he cared about me.That took me almost a year, but I had been suddenly abandoned by a previous T. Now we are good and doing trauma work I never thought I would ever tell anyone about and didn't until now and I just turned 60!.
