Sometimes it's difficult to see if our thoughts are in sync with reality. What I mean to say is that yes what you're saying does sound a bit off to me, but are you sure it's not a narrative you've created?

Have you tried talking to him about this? I don't mean just calling five days in advance what I mean is confronting him about your feelings with regards to the nature of the bond which exists between you. How you feel he's coming in between you and the therapy you need?

However if it does turn out that he is manipulating you then you should change therapists. Ultimately the therapy is not about him or his needs, but yours and the personal work you need to do for yourself, which he is being paid to help you with.

I would advise to talk to him about it and then think of a way to deal with this problem (if it's symptomatic of your trust issues) but if he is going through something of his own and it's coming in the way of you getting better, then I think you should consider an alternative therapist.

Best of luck and hope to hear how it goes in the future.
