I struggle with this, too. For the first few months, I was pretty good at convincing myself that she didn't care, and that she was just saying nice things to get me to tell her more. But now she's been kind to me so many times that it starts to feel like maybe she does really care. And worse yet, I'm starting to think that that is what I want most -- for her to care about me.

She's told me a number of times that she thinks about me in between sessions. We have not made the leap from thinking about me to caring about me yet though. I think they are a little different and I'm still trying to work through that.
