Does anyone believe their T cares about them

Yes , they've both shown care for me. That I'm not used to it and have trouble knowing what to do with it is another story.......

Yes, I believe my T cares about me. Not like friends or family, but in a way.

My last three t's have cared a great deal. Words and actions and going above and beyond when they did not have to. I have had two t's early on who did not particularly care and one that actively hated me. So they aren't automatically sunshine and rainbows.

Well since i plan on being his last and or next wife, i hope for both our sakes he does! Also hope that he poops blueberry pie

What does CARE mean? Does the Donald care about Melania? No, he was like, let her open her own dam car door, im gonna be the dam president (after the last debate). Whereas Barack always treated Michelle like she was made of gold. And then, who cares about the public?

So i think CARE really depends on the person, not the occupation, not anything. Just their heart or mind or whatever.

I believe my T cares and wants my suffering to decrease, and works very hard to that end.

I waffle between yes and no. He hasn't come out and said he cares, but he says things that are nice. He's also given me extra time twice, which has never happened before with any other T.

Then again, I don't think that anyone has ever cared about me, so why should T be any different?

I know my t loves me. she tells me. she goes above and beyond for me so many times. I am really blessed to have her in my life.When she dropped most of her clients, she kept me on. she wouldnt put this much time and energy into me if she didnt care.

Yes, I believe that she cares.

Nope, I don't believe she does, and she doesn't try to convince me she does. I have better mental health because of her help over the past year and a half, but now I know I need someone who actually does care. I'll have five more sessions with her, at most, then back on my own.

In short: yes. And it has taken a long time for me to see this. Mostly, I am glad she doesn't feel hostile toward me, which was something I needed to clear up today.

It took a major life catastrophe this past year to really understand, but yes, I know they both care about me. I wouldn't have made it through without their going out of their way to help, that's for certain.

I think my T cares in a professional capacity. they don't cancel each other out.

I think that "caring" could be very subjective. When money is ingomved it's very harder to tell how genuine the person really is. As mentioned before on other posts that For the most part are play a role and we would want to believe that the role played is genuine. In all actuality once we stop paying so many Ts will discontinue to see clients at that point. I would love to be one of those clients that could say that my T is different but it is a business. My T had mentioned many times that she works because she has to.

My kids T who's on maternity leave hasn't reached out once to see how they're doing and I don't expect her to. I guess my question is that how
Does a t that Says that they care can disappear for
Months without contact and say they care.

I think there are very few Ts that genuinely care and will reach out to clients regardless of pay. I pay my t and I expect nothing much in return other than appropriate service. She will tell me that she cares but when I'm having issues out of session of its not a suicidal case then I'm waiting for any response until my next session. That to me is a contradiction. It's just a complicated relationship.

Yes I think my T cares.

I also think it's in her self interest to do so. Otherwise she'd be spending two hours a week listening to someone she doesn't care about ramble on and cry about all manner of things. Easier and better for her if she musters some genuine caring.

I'm not sure why I'm so cynical today. We had a bit of a tough session.

What do i know? I had a rupture with my therapist and am a very hurt person. Or i'm the spawn of the devil now. Whichever, i dont care

Yes, I know my T really cares about me because she has told me many times and I believe her. She has even told me that she will email me when I don't see her anymore.

Skies that's awesome. You've really lucked out. I don't expect my T or anyone's T not to receive payment for what they do. I feel exactly like you do as far as abandonment due to financial difficulties.

I've experienced period where my T has been involved with more of what's going on before and after our session and almost seems preoccupied. I feel at times like I don't have her attention 100%. There have been times in the past where she's been emotionally drained and she needs time for herself. It was so apparent during session. Then two sessions later she would state how she cares about her clients yet she has no idea what's going on at times or she will forget conversations. This has always been an issue for me with understanding what she meant by caring. Just simply saying that you care is not enough but showing that you care is different.

(((Sarmas)))) sorry i deleted that postt. I keep trying to be myself again but can't seem to put myself out here anymore. Just phasing myself out here slowly

I'ts hard, i know. It can feel like you don't matter, right?.

My therapist cares enough to tolerate me too. In the end, people can only give so much. Some people more, others less. We have children to care about, there's only so much to go around for those of us with limited capacities. Therapists have the same limitations as anyone else. The therapist i was talking about before was not the average person, he was a gem; a really giving person.

It means danger to me ultimately. When someone i'm attached to doesn't care enough for me, it's a huge threat because of what my parents let happen to me and what they did to me. Not caring means they'll let me in situations where I was in danger or die. or seriously harmed. The danger feelings come into the present.

Absolutely. She has told me that she cares about me very much. She has done many things that lets me know that she cares about me. However, like parenting, caring doesn't mean that she rescues me. I believe it does mean playing the balancing act between showing, walking beside, and supporting/carrying.

Sorry about that. I totally understand .we all interpret things differently and we react differently due to our past experience. However what you say is true. Therapists have certain limitations and capacities as well. I know mine sees clients back to back. I can't imagine her giving herself equally to each patient especially with her having a family and all.

I'm a little off myself today as well. I'm not psychologically in the right state of mind tonight so posting what I want to say is a bit of a challenge today.

I think he doesnt, but i hope he does

No. The system said that simple message was too short so here are some more words.

Yes, I know my therapist cares about me. .

It did hurt. A lot. But then I figured that I can stop worrying whether my T cares about me, likes me, loves me or not and start fully using her services to improve my life.

There is no doubt at all that Madame T cared about me. I saw the tears in her eyes.

As for Mr T and The Countess, it is difficult to tell.
