Only one advise. Don't go in with the expectation that he would like you or come to see you and understand you fully etc though.
Think of him like a professional and that would save you lot of problems in the long run. Think of him like you would think of a regular doctor - as mechanical and unemotional. That would really help you.
Always, always remember it is a professional relationship, and deal with it that way. Don't get too attached, and don't try to think it is personal. Don't think of him too much or try to figure him out etc.
Tell him your issues, and work on them, and let him help you understand yourself. But don't expect him to develop any feelings for you. He would and always be a professional as far as you are concerned. It sounds like a bitter truth, but it is better to GET IT early on rather than wait till later.
