In contrast, mine has never said she would be delighted to see me after I had been wavering on returning. When I cancelled a standing appointment, she just wanted to confirm with me that I was cancelling. In her view, it's my choice and she won't weigh in one way or the other. I think it's really nice that your therapist is being so warm and supportive about your decision to return.
OP -- I agree with rr.

rr -- not to say this yet again, but your therapist bought.you.a.punching.bag.

Blondie often tells me how she's delighted to see me (or sad / concerned about not seeing me).

But, then I get the sense that Blondie is rather constantly.........delighted. And, I simply happen to be a casualty in the process.
