pink, I already think you are seeing him as human. You proved to yourself how he can't read minds, when he left you the phone message that was not the perfect one you wanted to hear. He's just a human without special mindreading powers! Same thing with his less than "perfect" response in therapy last time, when he gave you the stock empathy responses. He's not the perfect therapist, he's just human. I think you have a lot of "evidence" for this. Plus, he has thought about you outside of session before. Didn't he tell you once that he was reading some book/poem or other and thought of you, that you might like it?

pink, does your T encourage your idealization of him? Or does he try to set you straight on that?
