So - what else then do you want from him? He discussed it - where do you go next? From here it looks like you still want him to do something else.

Keep practicing the self comfort techniques- even if they are not perfectly doing what you are looking for -these things seem to take practice.

Or you could look at it like these sorts of entanglements are what is therapy and that you are raging against the human condition until acceptance or change comes. So the conflicts you have with him are the process of you acting out until whatever happens so that therapy can be said to work.
