He rarely disclosed things like this. I was surprised by this reaction and touched by it.

Maybe a counter transference reaction to what you said. Maybe he was emotional because you can't normally express your feelings about anything he does in session and that touched him, or maybe he was reflecting how he comes across with you in light of your reaction and feels emotional that he may have come across as uninterested in you. It does seem quite a strong reaction for him to have, but it's good he has been reflecting on it, as long as it doesn't obviously get in the way of your process!
