A question has come up in my sessions lately: Why does it matter so much to me whether my T likes me and cares about me. (With a sub-question: Is liking and caring about someone the same thing?)
When this was posed to me, my answer was, "Uh . . . well, I would just feel awful working with someone who didn't like me." And I haven't gotten any further with it since then.
Why would that feel so awful? Is this a universal thing? I mean, do you all share this need to be liked by your T? And exactly how much do they need to like us, for it to be OK? Is an off-handed, more-or-less liking enough? I think not, for me, but I can't say why.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this that are better formed than mine?
