This sounds weird but I think in a way your T did a very good thing, being honest. It would have been so easy to just say what you want to hear and a lot of Ts wold have done that. Not feeling connected a lot is not a bad thing, it just takes time, honesty is the foundation for that as well as being yourself which it sounds like you are getting more comfortable with.

Maybe she didn't phrase it that tactfully but believe me, the most hurtful thing is for T to offer an empty "yes"
