> I can totally relate to that one!
> When I used to see my shrink I always thought that way too: Like "she's only being nice because she gets paid to do so". Eventually I came to actually believe that she genuinly liked and cared about me as a person.**Sometimes I think my T does, sometimes I not so sure...
> They (the shrinks) chose to go into the profession of helping others, which they hopefully will do a good job at so in the end does it really matter what motivates them to do so?**Well, it does to me somehow. Same as how I care about what motivates the administrator of this site. Mebbe its some kind of leftover safety precaution behaviour of mine.
> But you could still always just ask her why she's nice to you and hopefully she gives you the truthful answer. Im guessing what you really just wanna know is if she likes you or not?
> Or am I totally off base here? : )**:) LOL! I HAVE asked, many a time. She always says the appropriate things. But seriously, is she gonna say she thinks I an idiot??? LOL! One of the T mantras is 'unconditional acceptance'.....
Sigh.
My poor ole T can't win eh?!
Take care, happy new year.
