Hi Aphrodite,
I have a hard time trusting if my T is genuinely concerned about me as well. At my last session he offered to give me a tape of himself stating some affirmations to me (I struggle with an eating disorder). He said he did this for another client and it's been very helpful for her. I couldn't help but think that he'd probably say the exact same affirmations but just change the name to mine, or how generic they would be...yet I was also appreciative of the "gesture". I told him I wasn't really ready for this just yet. I guess I still have my doubts as to whether or not the affirmations are sincere, truthful, coming from his heart or not. If I carry these doubts with me then I don't think the tape would be very "therapeutic" for me.
Thanks for letting me ramble...
