I think that the therapist is somewhat echoing how Runcible sees "caring," and is saying that she agrees with it. And I do think it is nice.
But I understand what you mean, if it were me I would prefer just a direct "I like you," or even "I like working with you." I'm not even there yet with my therapist tho. Right now I tend to end the session with "So, am I fired yet?" and he says "No, am I fired yet?" and then I say, "no," and we set up another session. That's about as touchy-feely as we get. No hugs, no touching. I'm ok with that.
