Elaine, I'm really glad to hear this.
I wonder if a part of your T actually really wants you to encourage him to increase his sessions and do the work that he needs to do around his feelings and conduct toward you. It's that whole thing of putting someone else in the role that you can't occupy yourself and that no one else can occupy...this may sound obvious, but I think you're serving some pretty big needs for him in terms of his journey.
Maybe this is the case with all therapeutic relationships, it's just a difference of boundaries...
take care,
philyra
