Therapy is work. Probably the toughest kind of work, if you ask me. So if you look at therapy as being a job, that would kinda make your t the "boss" and you the "employee." You genuinely love your "boss," right? So why would it be so difficult to believe that your boss genuinely loves you, the "employee?"

The two of you seem to have a special relationship indeed. From what you post, this t doesn't seem the type to say or do things she doesn't mean. Your t has always been honest and upfront with you. I hope you can find a way to accept and receive the precious gift of love, cuz you got it!
