I think you and your T are doing just what you need to explore. You don't need to explain a thing. I do think the added session every other week does help add to the intimacy and intensity of the relationship (usually for the better).
Is he young? You mentioned supervision, so I imagine he is on the younger side. It was a brave question to ask, and I'm glad you let him answer. It's nice when they let us know they think about us and learn from us. I just asked my T that question a few weeks ago, I asked, "Have you ever learned anything about yourself from working with me?" She took a very long pause, then a "Hmmmmm" then "Could you explain further?" [classic stalling for time] and came up with a semi-decent reply, not warm or fuzzy, more professional (darn it).
Your T sounds warm and fuzzy, like someone you would want to curl up on the couch with and watch a movie and share popcorn.
