In reply to you love T but does he what does he say to you?, posted by looking4hope on April 22, 2005, at 13:37:54
>> many people say they love their T, but has your T ever said he loves you or appreciates you? i do not mean in the romantic sense, but more like "i love working with you..." and "you are very important to me..." and "i'm very lucky to have you as a client..."?
Yes, yes, and yes. My T has said all of those to me, in some way or other. She has also told me she cares for me very much, and she has shown it in a number of ways (buying me a flower, making a toy for my kitten, letting me take home the pillow from her office chair, emailing between sessions, hugs, etc). It's "funny" that this post comes about today....I'm in the middle of terminating with my T (a forced termination) and I made her an audio CD on which I talk to her for about a half hour, say goodbye to her and all the things I couldn't say to her in person (in lieu of a traditional "goodbye letter"). I gave it to her today, this afternoon in fact, b/c I wanted to get it out of my hands so I wouldn't keep fiddling with it. I'm not sure if she listened to it yet....I told her she could wait until next week and we could hear it together (torture for me, listening to my own voice), but knowing her, she'll listen to it before then if she hasn't already (knowing her, she has). Toward the end, I tell her I'll miss her and that I love her. I'm worried about how she'll receive it, as it's the first time I've said it (and now I have to face her again!).
I'm glad you found the boards too! Welcome!
