My previous therapist never actually said it. She said she cared, but she didn't say love. And when I asked her, she would want to analyze why I wanted her to love me. And I was like, "You're the doctor, what do you think?" But right before I moved and we ended therapy, she wrote me a letter, because I asked her to. And in the letter, she said she she loved me. And I was like, "Ah ha, I got it in writing!" I sometimes still read it, just to remind myself.
My current therapist hasn't said it yet. But then, I've only been seeing her for 9 months. I don't expect her to, though, for some reason. And I think it is because I'm still attached to the old therapist.
And Lucie, I got the book Ambiguous Loss, like you suggested. So I hope it helps me with grieving my old therapist. It's good so far.
