My response to this would be the same as stopdog’s: “How does one know if anyone likes them?” and lolagrace’s: “The same way I know anybody likes me.” Many therapists will avoid answering this question in order to not let it become more about them than the client. This makes sense to me. Personally, I would never ask my T if she likes me or not. It’s one conversation I’d never want to have. That’s just me, though. I can certainly understand how others would want to know.
