Yes, his actions definitely show platonic love. He also uses the words "like", "attachment", "sympathy", "care". But not "love". |
I dunno wtf I did (forgot what settings I changed) and now tapatalk doesn't link me back to posts I've made or notify me when someone quotes me.
I hope he doesn't regret it. Surprise and confusion don't necessarily mean regret. Even if he does regret saying "I love you", it's much more likely that it's due to how it seems to be hammered in therapist-training not to say the words...rather than because he thinks you're not lovable.
T sometimes says phrases like "You are worthy of love. You are not unlovable. You deserve love." though she has never said "I love you". (We're talking about
different forms of love. I really dislike how English only has 1 word for love....)
I'm sure he cares deeply about you as a person, cares deeply about your well-being, has some attachment to you, has empathy and sympathy and compassion for you.
Maybe that's a therapy kind of love.
