Thanks, you guys, for your input. I know you are right that I should deal with the subject with him. I get to do that tomorrow. I know that it is said that therapist boredom is related to patient distance (the patient has distanced him or herself somehow and, as you said, isn't being "genuine"). I'm wondering, too, if it isn't related to the therapist needing to distance himself from strong feelings, since we have been discussing "my feelings for him" as he phrases it (i.e., he "feels" like a "daddy" and I have had images of sitting in his lap reading books with him; stuff like that).
I'll let you know what happens!
