Your therapist does sound really awesome !!!
There was something Karen Kay used to do a while back. She used to be extremely explicit with her therapist about all her needs, fantasies with him etc. And her therapist used to respond very openly to her too. She was quite very attracted to him, and I remember she used to be extremely explicity about her attraction with him. And he used to be quite open to her also. To my surprise, she got better and moved on faster than others who were not so explicit with the T.
I think you perhaps will heal a lot more if you adopt the same attitude with your T. Be completely open and honest and maybe even completely explicity with all your longings and needs with him/from him. I think that might be the best choice for fast recovery for you, especially, since your T seems to be able to handle any amount of challenge and openness and neediness on your part. Tell him everything you want from him. In all explicit details. And maybe talking about it repeatedly very openly might make you grow faster.
