Some Ts won't answer whether or not they care about you. My T "was" one of them. She told me in the beginning that she will never tell her clients whether she cares about them. So I never asked. But...one day I emailed her saying that she doesn't care. To my surprise, she responded that she does care! She said it in two different emails.

I would ask. If you're pretty sure she does care, then hearing the words (or for me reading the words) can really reassure you and help you feel more connected.
