Well said, SarahMichelle. I feel the same way about my relationship with my T. She is a professional and I am happy to pay for her expertise, insight, and therpeautic wisdom. However, no amount of money pay her can "make" her care about me. The fact that she does care comes from the nature of our relationship with one another. Her caring is appropriate to the client/therapist relationship and one of the "human" aspects of the therapeutic encounter.
Thanks for this!
