He probably does, but he could also be projecting. A backhanded way to tell you that you should take this time to depend on/call on him less - cause he doesn't feel as though he can live up to what you ask of him - so he's telling you he's not available for you now.
I so agree with your therapist. Cutting the cord for we in-charge, strong, on-with-it women is extremly difficult - but when you do it, it's extremely liberating.

Keep at it. Look after yourself.
