I think most T:s care on a certain level but very few care in that way that they are affected if their methods end up not working. Then they blame it either on the methods and/or the client, not necessary by telling the client so but to themselves to feel free of guilt when a therapy isnīt successful.

I think very few T:s care about their clients wellbeing on a more deeper level as therapy is just a little part of a clients life, a lot depends on outer circumstances like societal problems as unemployment, isolation and so on.

Being nice, kind, patient and so on is part of therapy and part of the role as a therapist and for me thatīs not caring. Itīs more of a technique and adapting to a client who the T after a while notices want certain things like being followed to the door when the session ends, being offered water, being asked a certain initial question when opening a session and so on.

Very few are showing their own self to that extent that I would call it caring on a human level, from one human to another. Perhaps thatīs also impossible if therapy is to work.
Thanks for this!
