So for me it's very hard to decipher when people care. I have been searching for signs. Well she works at my college and so we see each other in the halls and she'll acknowledge me if I acknowledge her first. Which I always do, cause I'm not ashamed. She knows I'm studying to be a T so when we have extra time she'll teach me a few tricks and give me tips and one time even did role reversal. And if I really needed a hug I can hug her. Also I can stop in and say a quick 5 minute hi. Also today she was going to the cafe and I was sitting doing my work and I said hi to her, and we got talking, well I was doing my developmental psych which she has helped me on before and I didn't know the difference between a phenotype and a genotype so I turn around to ask her and she couldn't hear me so she steps forward, grabbing my hand and leans in, holding my hand and we got talking about the class then she went and bought her coffee, came back and asked if I found it, I said yes so she asked what it was.

And I told her, and I then showed her my new necklace which is as short as a choker and she actually got close to me, her fingers on the batman pendant, her fingers nearly touching my neck, I don't mind closeness, which after I hugged her a few times I tihnk she knows XD

I want to say these are clear signs she cares for me, or is at least comfortable and trusting of me.

She def seems very fond of you. Sounds like a lovely relationship you both have.

Be careful with T/patient boundaries- your T is NOT teaching you that.

Recently, I was talking to someone about how, when people say there's no proof that God exists, they forget about the world they're standing in.

I kind of think it's the same with therapy. You can miss the caring while looking for signs of it, if that makes sense.

The boundaries present a problem sometimes. You know they are there, but you want the caring so much, yet you know that your T is your T and not your friend. Sometimes I don't want my session to end because I have to step outside again.
