Fuzzybear, your question strikes me for two reasons. Firstly, what is going on for you in therapy at this time? Are you feeling uncared for by your t? What has happened to make you feel so?
Second, speaking from personal experience, way back when I began seeing a t (whom I subsequently worked with for five years) she had a tremendous amount of caring and compassion. Yet I could not absorb it. Probably due to my own deep-seated self-hatred and a history of abuse I believed it was impossible for one person to truly care about the other, and if they did I thought there must be some sort of gain for them.
However, after a few years of good therapy I am able to assess whether a person truly cares or not, and I'm able to receive the caring when it is offered.
Too, most therapists care to the extent they are able to. If their level of compassion does not match the client's need it becomes a quesion of is the therapist not caring or is the client so emotionally disturbed (for lack of a better word) that she is not able to absorb and receive the caring? If I felt my t wasn't caring I might ask myself this question, "What would I want t to do/say or not do/say that would convince me that she does care?"
Y'see, when I used to feel my t doesn't care it was with the mindset that she is just 'pretending' to care, in a kind of manipulative way....to make me feel better....and that it is not humanly possible for one person to care about another without some kind of personal agenda.

Funny how my current therapist left me a message the other day, she had a question about our scheduling and she prefaced her scheduling question with, ''I hope you had a good week...." and I was thinking, "I'm paying her to nurture me, so she's doing it..."

Bottom line, I think therapists care to the best of their abilities, and as others have posted, this kind of work couldn't be done if one didn't care.
