I definitely can't rely on mine. The exercise he proposed is *still* repugnant to me.
Maybe your feeling about him as a father has something to do with the sexuality in the room? Some way of acknowledging the fatherlike qualities while also firmly putting him outside that taboo?
Just a guess. You'd know better than I would how he feels.
I think there is sometimes a bit of tension between how they seem to us and how they are to us. If pressed, I could admit that while I see him as a therapist mommy and he accepts that role, his stance is more avuncular than paternal.
