Hi HF,
I am sorry you are feeling so confused.
It all feels almost like a deja vu for me.
The truth is, I don't really know what to tell you, and what will make you feel better and which will keep you feeling better in the long run. I don't really know what the right thing to do is - to continue therapy or to terminate, if he should come to your concert, or shouldn't, should you feel special or you should feel just as one of his many patients. Each thing has its pros and cons, and what works better for the short term might make you hurt in the long term. There are too many emotional factors involved.
One thing I do know for sure is, if possible, if you can focus on what this relationship and the feelings mean for you, rather than focusing on your T, it might end up giving valuable insight into yourself. And that might help you in the long run to become a well rounded personality and grow up emotionally. And sadly, therapy is meant only for that purpose - to help you grow to be able to sustain yourself emotionally.
