It seems to be a basic rule of therapists not to apologize. The more experienced ones will often reject that rule on a case by case basis - like a good T should, people do not come out of a cookie cutter machine.
However, as you say, your group T is an intern and under supervision. He's playing by the book, in part because he's still learning and in part because he could get into trouble if he doesn't.
I would try not to take it too personally. It is a very good idea to meet with him, even if you don't get the outcome you desire. You are learning to face your fears head on and how to deal with conflict and possibly unresolvable differences of opinion
