I had T tell me a couple of times I didn't need to worry about her she could take care of herself. Once it was she was seeing clients in a nasty storm. She had a few cancellations and since I was her last appointment. So I asked if she wanted to reschedule because she had to drive a good distance. I told her I know that just wanted to offer if she wanted to leave earlier not because I was taken care of gett or didn't trust her to take care of herself but I did care and wanted to make the offer.

After that if I said something she might see as caretaking I woul start my sentance with "I know I am not supposed to take care of you so I am not, but" she would giggle.
