Wow, cool, that sounds like a great conversation. Good for you for bringing it up. I'm sure it will help in the work that you do with him in the future.
I was wondering about the fate thing . . . I'm not sure where I stand on the idea of fate, but if I assume that you two were brought together by fate, I start wondering whether it might not have been so that you could do good therapy together. Maybe the fateful purpose that brought you together is the excellent therapy work that you are doing. Which is a pretty good thing, right?
I'm not explaining myself well. What I mean is that it sounds like a glass half empty/full issue. You're saying it sucks that you can't have a social relationship with him. But maybe the flip side is that it's wonderful that you are having a good relationship that you enjoy, whatever kind it is. And if therapy brought you together, then maybe without it you wouldn't even have met.
Just a thought that may or may not be helpful. I know it doesn't make the empty half of the glass any more full. ;)
