Has a therapist ever said "I want to look after you properly" or anything like that?
And would you think thats a good sign, or ?

Mmm... Are those the exact words? I'm not sure if that would mean the T wants to wrap you up in cotton wool, or take complete responsibilty for you. Or is it just that the T is trying to reassure you that they will do their best for you? I would go with your gut feeling on this Fuzzy.

... sigh... only in my fantasies
 What they might do instead of saying the words is to show they care with their actions: being consistant in the way they are with you, being reliable with appointments, and showing a postive and caring regard for you in session, offering between session contact, etc. |

I think I would love to hear those words....but if I was confused about what T meant, I would ask. |

I think it would depend on the context of the conversation, but they sound quite caring and concerned to me, like your T is worried about you.
When I have been doing really poorly and felt very alone, at times my T has said, "I want to take care of you" or "I want to comfort you." Such statements are very powerful to me because I've never felt like I deserved to be taken care of. I hope you can figure out how the words make you feel. |

(((Fluffy)))),
I agree with the others when they say to ask your T what was meant. To me, those words sound like your T is very protective of you  Take care.
