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.
I underscore this...she is shoring you up and being there for you!
