Just a thought.. Have you ever cried during a session? That may also have soemthign to do with it as well. I mean that if someone is so distraught about a particular issue that they are moved to tears, it may have caused him to react the same way. You do tend to be rather dry, therefore I don't really see you crying much during therapy. I could be wrong granted... But, I understand exactly how you feel. I see how it hurts that you've spent so much time with your therapist and haven't seen the range of all of his emotions.
And you do have the right to "take up therapy space" as you put it. Every person's issues varies in degree. And it sounds like you are making progress with your therapist. Don't let it get you down because your therapist hasn't cried. He said that it has happened very rarely. I suspect on your last day (GASP!) he'll cry to see you leave!
