There are many ways I know. First, my therapist constantly demonstrates extreme authenticity. It simply isn't in her to say something she didn't mean. I've seen that tendency put her in some very unpleasant positions but she doesn't waver.

Second, I wrote a book that is doing well. It's in its fourth printing and has gotten positive reviews. The section of the book that consistently gets the most acclaim is the section on 'reading people'. That section got me hired to give a presentation to both the FBI and perhaps ironically, a group from the APA. Sorry for the resume but I wanted to assure you, her body language would give her away to me if she didn't mean it sincerely.

Third, she has encouraged me to go back to school to be a therapist. Put me in touch with people to fund it and has offered me a room in her offices upon graduation. She likes having me around.

Admittedly, that doesn't mean that your t means it, but mine does for certain. And if mine can - then yours can too. I hope he does.
