You did something very brave. I'm sorry you left hurting. I suspect that he was collecting his thoughts around what it all means. Perhaps it seemed so clear to you but wasn't to him. I wish you could have jumped in and said "hey buddy -- I just bared my soul...please respond."
It seems that your therapist is sometimes slow to get what you are working towards, or what you wanted to convey. But he eventually does get it and makes up for the hurt. You've done this pattern a couple of times, if I remember correctly.
If it were me, I'd call before next week and just say, "I'm hurt. I don't get it. If you don't want me to talk about my attachment to you, please say so." I bet you get a quick response.
All that said, some therapists just don't work with the attachment. But still, they should be open to talking about what you are feeling and why.
Hang in there.
