I think all of that sounds lovely with the exception of "us." That would have upset me.

But yes, my therapist at times demonstrates that he cares or shows concern. It feels nice because I don't feel concern or caring from other people in my life. Well, I guess I should say that I haven't felt that in the past. I'm actually in a season in my life right now where I feel very loved and cared for, which is a nice change of pace.

Here are some of the ways the therapist has done this for me:

He's been largely consistent. He does most of the things he says he'll do.
He's expressed anger and hurt on my behalf for things that have happened to me when I couldn't.
In retrospect, I'm very moved by his recent frustrations with me. Because it demonstrates a genuine desire in him for me to continue to heal.
