I agree with Fallen's comment. I'd definitely make a clear statement that you HAVE noticed it, but couple it with a statement about how it feels. I think if you come out and just say "you're doing it" yes, he's just going to get defensive and dive right for his therapist box of tricks. But if you do both at once, it eases the burden on him a little, giving him a little wiggle room as far as where to go with it, but not so much that he can get out of talking about it completely, you know?
This is a hard situation. Good luck.
