Thanks everyone. I appreciate the opinions.

My best friend who is a T has pretty much told me from the beginning to find someone else. She thought that everything has sounded kind of wrong.

And Melba, I don't know...I tend to be wordy. Not that I prescribe to this way of thinking, but some people might wonder if he's staring at my chest is it because I dress provocatively. I just wanted to emphasize I don't, but disclose that it isn't like this kind of thing never happens with anyone else. It does. And to the point that I'm pretty aware of it, i.e. not on the sly.

I'm not after a romantic relationship (he's like 60 yrs. old).

I would like to feel like my T gives a $@#$ though. Bad, bad things are happening right now and there hasn't been any, "Call me if you need to," or even, "Are you going to be okay," or "Do you think you might need another session this week?" The last one being something he'll allow.

To add on, he knew something bad at work was coming the next day, too, in the midst of my other problem. Obviously, it isn't his place to tell me about work stuff just because of the dual relationship. However, it was BIG news and he still wasn't showing concern for me! Knowing what was coming the very next day!

I'm curious about the psychoanalytic thing---I didn't think people still practice that. Does that orientation have a distant vibe? Does it mean that the client always leads? Does it prohibit support? Because there has been very few supportive statements from T.
