Dinah,
He also said that he takes care of his end, and that you two have boundaries, which makes therapy a safe place. Unfortunately, the real world doesn't have tons of folks who are adequately taking care of their end in relationships and who have firm, clear, and consistent boundaries.So I'm not sure if he's commenting as much about protecting others from you, but rather it might be that you need to be protected from others who might be too needy or too loose with boundaries, themselves. Maybe??? That the safe place to be your true self might not occur IRL in all that many places. If you could find them, and we all would like more of them, then I think he's saying that would be a good thing.
Aargh. I'm not sure what I'm saying now. But I just think his comment has as much to do with the real world versus the neediness you were discussing.
