I think he gets it. He might be being a bit too positive about it, but I think he gets it.
I think he's handling it as well as a therapist can handle resetting boundaries. He's acknowledging that it's painful, and that it feels hurtful. Perhaps you can guide him on what in his response is and isn't helpful.
Resetting boundaries *hurts* and I wish it never had to be done. It makes me feel a bit angry with therapists, including my own.
