From T: It would be nice to hear "I love you" but I don't think she will ever say that directly.

I also wish she could say something that would make me cry, something that would touch me so much that I would finally be able to let go of my inhibitions about crying in therapy.

She says a lot of things that I want her to say already, as follows:

I accept all of your parts.
Nothing is TMI.
You're special.
I'll be back. I'm not going to die. (wish she could guarantee that though)
I care about you.
I like you.
You're talented (or something to that effect).

I wish my parents had told me "you're okay the way you are".
I wish my H would say "I love you" much more than he does.
