Adia, you are completely right. Actions do speak louder than words. My therapist had told me a few times that he cared about me, and I tended to disbelieve it. Then one time, I was talking about suicide and he winced. And that wince meant more to me than anything he had ever said. The next session, as a gift for caring about me, I gave him my promise not to kill myself without letting him try to help first.
Of course, for all I know, he winced because he had gas, or was thinking of someone else's suicide. But still.....
