I feel he cares a lot, but, perhaps because he's an analyst, there aren't many overt things I could point to- for example, no hugs, no reassurance, no actual saying that he cares. The certainty about his caring comes because of how carefully he listens, how everything he says seems to be very genuine, and from the heart, how glad he seems to be if I am able to fully share something difficult- and also because of occasional light moments, when we laugh together, or he shares something about his own life. This is the grown-up speaking; the "girl" part has a much harder time believing that he cares, but I can see how hard he works to help her believe it, also.
