Well, I would interpret that as needing the courage to go out into the world and get your needs met in ways that he can't provide for you as your T. That, to me, would be a healthy and logical suggestion for a T to make, so that's why I would interpret it that way.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
