I am just wondering if others experience the same thing I have experience .

That seems nuts! I think this is a hard subject to define because everyone experiences "caring" as something different. I think my T "cares" enough because she rarely cancels (and she did today for monday, and i am sad, but am assuming something came up unexpectedly), and is always present for my sessions despite me being the last session on a long day. But more than that, it is just a "feeling." You can tell when someone isn't REALLY invested in your future or fate. Or at least, I can. People fake it all the time, and some people are probably very good at it, especially sociopaths
I don't know. I've had two therapists. I think my first one cared enough, but we just didn't click. Her way of working did not work with my way of dealing. I just thought it was normal until I couldn't take it anymore and quit. I got VERY lucky, and my second therapist...I knew after the first sesion that she understood me pretty easily, and that we'd "click." I hate that term, but for some reason it does work.
