I have no idea. I just noticed that you had this very strong reaction based on what you heard and the only way to know is to talk to him. I don't know how close you are to being done with therapy from him. If it seems like it will be a while yet; things have been going well; and you decide to continue with him - I would probably back off from the "friends" talk (and maybe fantasy) for now and just see where your therapy goes.

You said that you don't need him as a friend that you just felt like you clicked well both in and out of therapy frame. It sounds like this would be a topic to approach as it becomes closer to a possibility, unless it gets in the way of your therapy.
