I don't think T's could do what they do without caring.

This is a good analogy, I think. When you make a turkey sandwich for someone - a stranger - you do 'care' about them in a way - just not in a personal way.
Maybe that's how T's think of us when we have our first few appointments.
They don't know us yet, but they are caring for us by beginning the process to help us.
Let's say, you made a turkey sandwich for the same man every week for months and months. And you begin to learn about him and his hardships. And you begin to know his personality, his sense of humor, his dreams and goals as well as his problems and shortcomings.
You would still have a job to do - making him a turkey sandwich. But you may do it better as you get to know him better. And you would definitely care more about him on a personal level, and care more about making his sandwich good. Even if you never got to be friends with him outside of work, you could care very deeply about him and about what happens to him.
I think that is how it is with T's.
They can care on a personal level, and be a T, at the same time.
