hi Dinah,
I'm so glad that your T values your ideas and feedback & thoughts. That's very cool! :) Very affirming.I think the longer you stay with a T, the more important the relationship becomes. I'm sure you mean many things to him -- you've helped him learn about himself, given him opportunities to help you and to grow himself doing it, allowed him to find that ideal therapist/client relationship. That DOESN'T happen with every person, and I think in that sense you are very important to him, even if he doesn't think about you constantly. But when he DOES think about you, it's with respect (it sounds like!) and affection and deep interest.
I think you're brave to give him a copy of the post. YOu have a lot of courage!
