I told T today that I'm afraid of losing her. I said to her "I'm going to miss you." She said "I will miss you too." I was touched by that. T hardly expresses her feelings to me. I'm just curious, has your Ts expressed to you that they will miss you too?

Mine has explicitly said that she does not miss me. That's nice that your T was willing to share her feelings.

I asked mine jokingly once if he missed me when he was on vacation. He said he did and that they went to see War Horse, and he thought me and wished he could ask me some questions about the horses.

Once after a 7 or so week break, the therapist asked if I missed her. I said probably about as much as she missed me. She moved on.

My ex T did tell me she missed me on occasion. She was probably adding " like a hole in the head" under her breath tho hahahahah

 My T hasn't used those words, but has said other things that equate to it, such as "It's really good to see you" after a break. |

Yes, my T has said things like "I missed you" and "I thought about you when..." It's always nice to hear.

Thanks for sharing!!! I didn't know that T would miss me. That thought never crossed my mind. She looked me right in the eyes as she said "I will miss you too." It was a bittersweet moment...

Neither of mine have said that. How wonderful that your T said that to you.

Not that he misses me but that he thinks and ponders about me.

At my last session with T when we still met in person before she moved, I told her how much I was going to miss her after she left even with having phone sessions, that I'd still miss HER. She said she would miss me too and we both got a little misty.

When I spoke to my T about putting therapy on hold as much as possible until funds come in, he said, "That will be hard for both of us." Not exactly an "I'll miss you too," but the acknowledgement that the separation goes both ways was pretty honest I thought.

Many times. It's a nice feeling, especially when it's reciprocal.

One time, when I was thinking about quitting (not out of anger, but for various logistical reasons) my t said that she thought it was probably not the best time, therapeutically, for me to suddenly stop t. Then she added, "and I, personally, would miss our time together".

My T keeps it all professional like and wouldnt ever say that. You are fortunate to have such a caring therapist.

T has said that every time she goes on holidays and I didn't even ask her, it was nice because my ex t would never say anything or show any feelings towards me!
When I text t to tell her I was quitting a while ago, she told me she didn't want me to go because she would miss me because she loves working with me and always looks forward to our sessions. This was so important for me and only she would understand how much that meant to me... ( of course that could be bull **** or t could be a good business woman)! |

My T said that to me in the last session after she'd been on maternity leave for 7 weeks. It felt really heart-warming

My former therapist and I shared a similar conversation when we were discussing my leaving therapy. It did warm my heart (and still does) knowing that he cared.

My t is overseas the past two years and she often says she misses me. I believe her when she says it. And when i went to visit her last year, and spent over a week with her, it was very hard on both of us at the airport. We hugged a very very long time and she had tears in her eyes.

I haven't been away from T for more than a two week period. The closest he's gotten to expressing his feelings to me is to say "I always enjoy talking to you. I always find it interesting."
If he says anything about having thought about me between sessions I take it as a sign that he likes me on some level.
