That is so awesome, not only did he read the book (finally!) but he obviously got it. That he was able to go straight to a passage that really spoke to you is really evidence of both his care and attunement. Hey, he can learn about attachement issues but you can't fake a relationship. I really believe that's the most important part for healing.
And enjoy that warm feeling of being cared for, you deserve it!
I got a kick out of him saying "A huge bind" since that's what my T ALWAYS calls it. Do you think they have vocabulary training in counseling school?
