The idea that he feels attached to you as you do to him is unrealistic, He has a life -- family, friends, etc -- that fills his free time. This is not to say that he doesn't care about you. Or even love you. My t once said that he probably spends more time i-with me (an hour a week) than He does with most friends. But I am not his friend or child or lover or wife. He means a lot more to me than I do to him. Our relationship is bounded by the walls of his office.
That's the nature of therapy. BE happy he is willing to continue with him. Hw cares about you and worries over you. You can't really ask or expect much more.
