Great thread.
At least you've gotten beyond the word "care" to "for" or "about". The furthest my pdoc will go is that "He cares." Never says about me or the therapy, just that he cares, which I, of course, can interpret as I wish. And I can't even tell you how hard it was to get that out of him!!! Oh, the CBT line of thinking that he so strictly follows... But it's always such a challenge.
Then there's my T, who hugs me at the end of every session (and sometimes at the beginning) and always tells me she loves me.
Sigh, the yin and the yang. The mom and the dad. Life is so complicated.
thanks for the thread,
antigua
