You all have a point here. It would be quite boring if I was talking to a blank slate. I guess I want to avoid the never-ending attachment I feel, especially when he brings in his personal life to the sessions. The best advice is to continue our work and let him know when I'm uncomfortable. Then we can get to the route of what's really bothering me. This sounds like the grown-up thing to do. Thanks for all of the advice, it is truly appreciated.
