Re:Transference and the Whole Therapy Relationship!!!

Just because someone touches you doesn't prove they care. I'm not saying what your therapist did was not a caring gesture, but don't confuse it with proof of caring.

I counsel women who've gotten into abusive relationships. They have been fooled in the past by similar gestures and with sweet verbal nothings. "He said he loved me." It's easy to say, harder to prove in the long run.

I show my clients I care by listening and putting thought into my every response. They know I care when they leave the session feeling heard and like they've benefitted from each session.
