Just a quickie -- when a T talks about "regard," I always hear the psychotherapist Carl Rogers in the background. He put a premium on something called the therapist's "unconditional positive regard," which I think actually does mean something like love.
And also, I know from hard experience that Ts don't always manage to summon this regard consistently. Though mine tries...and maybe that's the point, or a point. That he tries.
