Gerber, being somewhat in the field of helping people, yes, absolutely I do care about my clients. And I believe your T would care about you. It's not like caring about a lover, a child or that sort of thing. It's different. But when I am in the moment with them, they are truly what matters and I want to help them. When I'm with them they have my full attention.
I think you can't force trust, it has to happen naturally, you'll know it when you feel it.
As for therapists thinking something might have happened, oh boy can I relate. Yes, I had one of those and he did think I was traumatized in some way. I wasn't. And I guess working through with him he finally realized that. But I think they do make assumptions.
With my clients, I do assume things sometimes and then their story comes out differently. So I guess it's better not to assume. What kind of therapist are you seeing?
