My T did something similar. I asked if he liked me, and he would not say; he asked why it was important. I said because I don't want to work with someone who doesn't like me. We talked about this (this was early on after maybe one month in therapy with him). He would laugh at my faces, etc. And he would say things like he liked that about me or my Impish ways, etc. Still that did not answer my question. Finally he said in the session, do you think I like you? And, I said yes, and he nodded his head yes he does. Since then I have not worried about it. I know he likes me, but then I worry if all my crap is a drag for him. I never cry except in front of him, and I hate it and said so. He only said tha maybe I need to cry with him and alluded to it being okay. It is difficult, though, when someone is SO accepting. It can be scary, I think. I have said this, and we then go into what that is all about. Okay, I need to go to bed so I can get over my flu stuff. Take Care.
