Yes, I've told him that. And although I'm sure he knew what I meant, I also made it perfectly clear. So I took the ambiguity out of it for him.
And he was even less (if possible) ambiguous in his reply. He said he cared a lot about me, which I know to mean that he wanted the best for me.
All perfectly proper and unambiguous.
There's nothing wrong with you telling your therapist that, despite the ambiguity. Be prepared for some clarifying questions though. I think that maybe it isn't wise for a therapist to be that ambiguous. It could end up hurting a client.
