I suspect he does like and care about you. Ts are not heartless. They do this work because they genuinely like and care about people.
That is separate from this next bit. The purpose of your work together is not to be friends at the end of it all. That confuses the work that you do together. Liking you and caring about you are different issues to be changing your therapeutic relationship to a different one.
Its okay to like and trust him. It s okay for him to reaffirm the therapeutic boundaries and to like and care about you within those boundaries. You are not seeing him to find a friend no matter how connected and compatible you might be with each other. You are seeing him for therapeutic work. It is important work. And it is so good to be able to do it with someone you genuinely like.
