Is it the actual response you're scared of, or something closer to my fear (what asking the question will mean for the relationship)?

I think that's part of it too, but I also don't think it says I'm too attached to want to make sure she actually cares. Knowing someone actually cares makes me feel safer to share things. I do feel like she does care as much as she can. I don't think people, especially people with the personality therapists have, can spend so much time with someone and not care. I think that's why there are such strick boundaries in place. My T is very nice. She listens well. She validates my feelings. I do think she cares. I've mentioned in therapy about being afraid she'd judge me for what I'm telling her, and she assures me she won't.
