It's real ,for sure.
From within the context of what you wrote below, I think he just meant it's not as difficult as you think. Like Liketysplit said-it's less emotional investment that with relationships outside of therapy. Likely it involves some compartmentalization on his part, which perhaps makes it not as difficult as one would expect. That's how I interpret his words.
FKM wrote something inspiring. I felt 'dead' during my loveless childhood. Therapy brought me alive too. That connection means so much.

I'm sure I'm forgetting things. Maybe I'm thinking too much about it, but the first place my mind went was that how he acts toward me isn't real, it's a show. That he cares about me isn't real, it's part of the performance. But maybe he just meant that in the real world people don't talk about their problems?
