Ooooh, I want your therapist. Mine has never called me unless I called him first. :)
OK, I'll confess that when I used to quit therapy on a semiregular basis, he would spend the "final" session telling me that he enjoyed working with me, cared about me, and would miss me. And I would tell him that I didn't care one bit about him. I still think that that was just his standard closing statement. I never felt that he was speaking any great truth. But I do think that my comments to him stung. He kept reminding me of them years after I had quit quitting.
But I don't think he could possibly be afraid that I would do that again now. I've been very open with him about how much I care about him. And he'd have to be empathy free to not feel that I meant it.
