I don't really think about whether the therapist likes me or not. I don't go there to be liked nor am I at my most endearing when interacting with her. I prefer she not despise me, but as long as she does what ever it is her job entails, then great. She has said she liked me - but I have no idea what the point of telling me that was.

However, if the therapist is telling you to come to more appointments just because the therapist likes you, that is not the most ethical of therapists. Are you being charged for all the appointments? I suggest you ask the therapist about this and get a better handle on the situation. It may be that the therapist has a different view of your situation than you do.
