Hi Daisy,
Your therapist does seem wonderful.. and trust him to tell you what is right for you and what is wrong for you.Just be open and upfront about it with him. Tell him that you would never ever want to be causing him irritation, and that if your dependancy ever comes to that point where he resents it and tolerates it for the duty, then he should tell you.
I did that with my old T. I asked him to tell me if he ever found it hard and that I would stop at that point. Till that point I had all the luxury, but after he came back and told me it was little difficult for him - mine because he retired and was no longer even a therapist to anyone, I have stopped.
So you could do the same, and let him know your good intention of not being too clingy to him. But from your old posts, it appeared to me that your T wanted to encourage your dependancy, and wanted to be there for you no matter what - for now. And from what you have said about him, he really seems wonderful and sensitive and very caring, so I am sure you can trust him with all your heart to do what is right for him and for you.
