I just mean... That it seems to be starting new threads about feeling the feelings rather than following older threads through to completion of coming to understand those feelings.

He is training at a psychoanalytic institute - isn't he? That leads me to believe that he is likely to have supervision regarding this. I am hoping that he has a view of the utility of fostering these feelings. Because it seems to me... That he is doing more in the way of fostering / encouraging these feelings than he is doing in the way of accepting BOTH the presence and absence of these feelings...

Which returns me to the issue of: I hope he is getting adequate supervision and has some theoretical rationale behind his self-disclosure. Otherwise... I'd be worried about his narcissism (and the potential negative impact on you in the sense of reinforcing your false belief that sexual feelings pave the way to intimacy). I also hope... That he has sufficiently worked through his own sexual transference feelings (and the rationale for them) in his own therapy... Otherwise... No good will come of it methinks...
