His behaviour does not sound like rescuer behaviour to me. Unilaterally cutting back your sessions, being inflexible with his expensive fees, not acknowledging your needs/feelings, falling asleep are pretty significant examples of withdrawal. I agree that it sounds like counter transference, but not of a saviour kind. It sounds like he is turning away due to his unhelpful feelings (of anger, frustration, who knows?) rather than moving towards you to rescue. Obviously, I don't think rescuing would be appropriate either.
