I sympathize with the issues around drinking, LT, being a big part of my social life etc. Makes it hard to cut back.

In my session today T asked if I "feel cared about as a person" when I'm in the room. Which seems to me like a weird way to phrase that. Isn't it basically asking if I feel like T cares about me as a person (as opposed to a generic any-patient)? In which case how would I know? Plus it seems unfair because I bet if I asked "Do you care about me?" he would not answer that question in a direct way.

I don't remember what I said in response, I think I just went back to what we were talking about previously (a medical procedure).
