I don't have any new insights to add, just wanted to let you know that I would be confused by his comments as well. I agree that his response says a lot more about him, than you. Does he think you are trying to seduce him? Doesn't he know you well enough?
Maybe he thinks DEEP down you have a surpressed desire to rip off his .... naaah, can't go down that icky road!
Did you try to google psych conferences and came up empty? Maybe it's something tied into a University?
Also, when he seems surprised how clients think about their therapy, it makes me wonder, hasn't he been to therapy? I know my T has gone, it was a part of her training. So I imagine, rightly or wrongly that she knows all about the strong feelings clients feel for their Ts. My T is psychodynamic, so she encourages those feelings as well.
I like how you bring up all the nuances of the theraputic relationship in your sessions. Interesting stuff always follows. I'll need to do some of the same.
Enjoy what is left of the weekend. Thank you for sharing this difficult topic. I didn't mean to poke fun at the beginning.
