I also got the courage to ask him why he will never say "I care about you". I asked if he does not verbalize that on purpose and he said yes. He gave me a very detailed reason why he will not tell me that. It made complete sense.

Hi VH....I'm so glad you got that call from T and that it helped you so much. If you feel comfortable, can you explain a little more of what I have quoted above. Can you share his reasoning for this. I ask because my T does tell me he cares and I am curious as to why this may not be a good thing. Of course, he didn't tell me this for a long time (we are together almost 4 years now of 2x per week sessions) because in the beginning he probably didn't have those feelings because he didn't know me.

Are you seeing him this week? I hope you have a good session.
