As you might remember, caring and loving feelings around and about my T is a major part of my therapy. My T has said and done things that let me know she cares. I would even say that she loves me - given the many different types of love that is out there. She has told me she cares about me, she has never said that she loved me - but she has said yes or something to the affirmative when I said that she loves me.

I know my therapy with her would not have gotten to where it is without this type of relationship - where the caring is genuine.

My T knew before I told her and before I wrote that I love her. Interestingly, she is just as .. good? with me saying I am mad with her or at her. I think this is because talking to the person in the relationship about any feelings I have about them or the relationship is extremely difficult. In any case, I would say that my T would agree that a lot of it (therapy) is about the relationship.
