Milly,
I just read through this thread and I want you to know that not all therapist are against telling clients they care. Mine tells me as well as shows me. In fact, he was mightly insulted when I suggested that he didn't care. I think what he said was, "do you REALLY not know that I care about you?"
He is clear about how he cares and what he can be and not be. But he reminds me frequently that this relationship we've built is real and important, to him and to me. I think that fact that he believes it and shows it has allowed us to work at a very deep level, where so many of my demons are about abandonment and betrayal.
It is worth the risk, I think, to talk about it. Hard...but worth it.
Let us know what happens.
Daisy
