You can do it. It's a good question to ask. And hearing the answer could help your therapy a great deal too. Just spit it out... yeah, it's hard for me to ask or say anything regarding my T...because she's the one in the room...but I have.

I've asked my T things, but not had to ask her specifically if she cares, because she lets me know she does. I know I am her job, but I care about the people at work also. Some pop into my mind outside of work here and there, and it's ok. (I work with kids). So I can understand how it feels to get paid to do a job, but still care about those you're helping.

If we were to terminate, I think she'd still care... but contact would of course, stop. I know I would never forget her. She'd forget about me after awhile I'm sure...they can't hold onto us all...... but like a book I read. Therapists have many clients, while clients (typically) only have one T. That makes things a bit harder on us...but they get over it, and we eventually would too.
