I don't think it's because she cares; it's probably what she learned about attachment therapy.
Rainbow, don't let the thread scare you about your t caring. I question so many things about the theraputic relationship but I don't question whether my t has some level of genuine caring or I can promise you that he would have referred my crazy self or long ago. I believe most people choose the theraputic field because they truly want to help people, but many are still wounded themselves and many negative things can come about.

I question my t on a weekly basis and bless his heart... I know he has to shake his head in bewilderment many times when I leave, but when I so myself and look. . I have to see his constant help, words and actions (even when he has failed me), I believe he truly cares but yes, it is within a specific set of theraputic boundaries. Don't let this thread make you disbelieve or trust your t. Only you and him/her know the truth of your relationship.
Thanks for this!
