In reply to My pdoc cares too much?, posted by Deneb on April 12, 2006, at 23:59:12
I don't think she means it as you interpreted the comment. As a client, someone she cares about, someone she is helping, she will be thinking about you.
Try to think in terms of a teacher. At home, he/she may come across an article or a book and think, "This sounds like Susan, I'll need to share this with her mother." or "I'd bet Jack would like working out this puzzle."
It's human. We can't shut our emotions on and off (although there are times when I would love to be able to do that).I'd glad my T may think of my welfare outside of our session times. Maybe your pdoc is thinking, "How can I help Deneb better? How can I reach her? What can I do to comfort her?" Who knows what she meant specifically, but I don't think she meant, "I'll be thinking of you as a friend or romantically."
Does that make sense? It was a kind parting thought. Letting you know you are important to her and she wants to help you. Enjoy it.
