I think it's because my T knows me so well and can "hear" the subtext of what I say, and he also knows that I am not very good about knowing what my own feelings are or expressing them (because I don't like to be vulnerable). As soon as he said that he missed me too, I realized I had missed him, and I smiled to know he knew this before I did.

It actually didn't seem reciprocal to me (he gave more than I did in the interaction), but when he said he missed me I absolutely believed him. He is very genuine and I could see in his face and hear in his voice that he missed me. That helped me realize I missed him too. He's a wise guy, my T.
