Sounds like he had a great take on your situation that appealed to both your rational and emotional sides.
I've used the comparison before, but I think it bears repeating. My husband has gone to his chiropracter twice a week for 7 years. He uses it for prevention, maintenance, and times of pain or injury. Funny how he never worries as we do about frequency, troubling his chiropractor, weaning himself off his dependency, etc. He knows it helps, the chiropractor gets paid and is willing and able to help, and I'm quite sure they never discuss termination;) Maybe it's a stretch, but I don't see much difference between that and therapy. Our pain/needs/prevention are just in a different arena.
Anyway, I hope you found the conversation with your T reassuring.
