I emailed my T how much I care for him again, how I feel connected to him in a way I have with no other, how I long for his touch, a handshake, a hug. And that I respected him and didn't want to compromise our therapeutic relationship.. I'm stretching it there! How it's so hard to say good bye each week.

He responded with with this, "you will have a part of me that I feel comfortable in giving, keeping us honest...I am glad to have had you and your sharing...you deserve far more than I can grant however, and for that...you'll need even more courage..."

I'm looking for interpretation of his comment.
