There's no need to apologize. I think I got scared because you voiced a fear I have, which is that sometimes he does seem a little emotionally distant. I find it difficult to deal with at times, but maybe he feels that if he were too nurturing, I would become emotionally dependent on him. I also thought that analytically-orientated therapists (he says his approach is analytically-based psychodynamic therapy) were supposed to operate at a slight remove ..
I don't know. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm trying to rationalize staying with him, but he has been very understanding in terms of grasping my subjective experience(it was so hard finding someone who would believe I have ADHD), and does not hesitate in taking a more experimental approach to medication (at least lately..). I've weighed it up and think remaining with him is for the best, but it's true, I never quite feel 'loved' by him .. it's too often overshadowed by my fear of father/authority figures.
Anyway, sorry if that's too much information. But maybe this is something I should bring up with him.
