:-). That is so funny :-). If I were a therapist, I would say to my client every chance that I got, that I liked them, that I loved them, that I am proud of them. Any decent ones. Total jerks are a different story - or maybe I should tell them more of it, because they are probably the ones who need it.
I still think my ex T couldn't bring himself to say he liked me - not even a little bit.. I asked him specifically, and I told him how bad it felt to think he disliked me and that was the response I got - that there was no question of him liking me or disliking.. Arggh. I hate that response so much. And that also in the last termination mail.. He should have understood how much it would hurt me. Atleast if I had seen him face to face or heard his voice that would have been a different story.. This kind of blank statment in a termination email was really hard - I don't care if it is a standard therapeutic response.. I didn't like it one bit, and I haven't made peace with it, and I don't think I ever will.
