ok, I am a bit surprised at no response to my email; yet. I get it, it was one of the reasons we'd been struggling as an alliance. Even if I understand it, it still hurts. Why does it hurt? You'd say something about caring/love - why were you able to bring that out in me? I haven't been like that with other therapist and lots of other people are not like this with their therapist. Maybe it was just because of the psychological state I was in at the time we met.

ETA - ok, your reply came in. It would have been more personal had you said something jokey about the word I used. It seemed pretty impersonal and professional. Intentional or not? Perceived or Actual (real or not real)?
