How do you know if T liked you or will miss you?

I'm betting T was trying to distract himself. Though, you may never know for sure. ((Hugs)).

Your T said some traits about you that he will miss. That's nice to hear.

When my T went on leave, she didn't said anything about missing me or missing something about me. She just said I'll hear from my new (replacement?) T when she will be back at work and how we will go furthur. She said she would be curious to find out how those months went and how my exams went. And what I made of that; I won't hear from herself, but from my replacement T and she isn't that interested/curious because she can wait months to hear how I'm doing.

I'm sure my T doesn't miss me. She's nice and a good T (though she has her mistakes), but she can keep work perfectly good seperated from her personal life. That what I see from how she acts, what she has said and such.
I know T's probably won't be able to work long if they take their work home, but to me it seems so... cold.
Does she like me? I don't think she hates me, but like? She has never said it straight-forward, even not when at the times I told her I worried about that.

I do think their are T's who will miss their clients or some of their clients, especially if they have been seeing that client for a very long time. I don't think all T's will be that open about it.
You can't always be sure if T will miss you or liked you.

You see this in rural America sometimes. It's a different relationship, because in a small town people will see their doctors in their day-to-day life. Out grocery shopping, playing tennis, in town with their family. And while professionalism is still important rural people tend to not respond well to professional detachment. It's a different sort of relationship. It has it's plus sides, but of course some drawbacks too. There are still boundaries I would keep in this type of friendship that I may not in another. ie. I would never share topics of a sexual, relationship, or substance use nature (not that I have really intense shocking information on any of those anyway) with a friend in this situation

I live in a mid-sized city and it is not uncommon at all around here. My father, who lives on the east coast, plays golf with the cardiologist he uses and is personal friends with the gp.
It is not uncommon at all in my experience. My grandmother and grandfather played poker and socialized frequently with the person (and his wife) they used as an md.

I've become friends with a young heart patient of mine. She and I have children who are close in age, and we go to the same play areas sometimes, made sense to start going to lunch and take the kids out to play after.
