Dinah,
While I have appreciated your T's humanity and his willingness to share it with you, I think that comment is going to take some processing. I think suggesting he check out some supervision for his counter-transference shouldn't be out of the question. There is *nothing wrong,* Dinah, with having a quiet soothing voice - for goodness sakes! Would he do better with a rasping loud voice? It is not your job to keep him awake, the fact is that none of us are allowed to doze on the job. That is his thing and he needs to tend to it.
Having said that, in my earliest years with my T, he twice fell asleep on me during sessions. I thought he was just paying such extreme attention that he had his eyes closed - lol! I have given him a lot of grief over the years for it. I think his then teen-aged child had more to do with it than I did.
