Interesting, but I highly doubt it matters to her whether I care about HER or not. My money's just as good either way, and if I'm making progress, I don't know why it would be relevant to her. That's the issue with therapy; the imbalance. I need her more than she needs me, so I care more than she does and that's the reality of any therapeutic relationship.
Thanks for this!
