A few months ago, I had a bad session with my therapist and I was convinced that he didn't really care about me. When I got home I was still crying and I called and left him a message that I was cancelling all my appointments. The next day I heard from him and I told him I didn't really care about all the psycho mumbo jumbo of why I should continue therapy, all I wanted to know was whether he cared about me. I think he may have been taken aback by my comment. Guess he didn't realize how much it would mean to me to hear it. Needless to say, he told me he cared for me several times and I believed him. Isn't it just like a man to hold back from any display of feelings? I wish I didn't have to go through that, and I wish I didn't have to ask to hear that he cared about me. I still wonder sometimes if he was just lying to get me to come back but I'd like to believe it was true.
