As recently as last week, my T said to me, "I care about you." He told me that feels, sometimes, as though wants to take care of me-- and that is because he does care about me. However, even if he didn't say those words directly (but I am so glad that he did), it is very obviously to me that he cares.

He allows me to have an unlimited amount of phone calls and emails and he will always return them.

He comes to session with books and CDs that he knows I would like.

When I'm going through a very hard time, he will call out of the blue to see if I am okay.

One time I left his office during a snowstorm and he called to make sure I got home okay.

Last week I left his office in a pretty bad state and he called to make sure I got home okay.

He holds my hand when I need to be grounded.

He accepts every single part of my personality, no matter how raw.

He told me once, "The attachment is mutual."

It feels wonderful to be cared about like that.
