He responded that he not only cared to help me, but enjoyed helping me....explained a bunch of reasons to support his statement (which helped me to know that it was a genuine response)....and then said, "and I care about you personally in addition to that".
It would certainly be worthwhile to at least tell your T that you felt as though she didn't care, by her statement....and see where that takes you. You just might be surprised.

If I remember in 2 weeks (uhg...) I will definitely discuss this with her. It certainly left me confused and hurt, so I think it would be good ground to cover. We'll see how it goes, and if I can remember to bring it up.
