My T cares about me in a professional sense. He wants me to be happy, he wants me to improve my life, and he wants me to push myself out of my comfort zone. We both understand that he is not my friend and that he is a professional offering a service. That does not mean he doesn't care though. He celebrates my successes with me, he's proud when I make progress, he worries about me when I am struggling, and the biggest way he shows he cares is by being consistent with me. I can be stubborn and frustrating and anxious and frantic and just overwhelmed in general and I know that, regardless of what I'm dealing with, he will be there in his chair giving support or encouragement or just telling me to knock that **** off when I need it.
