I can relate to what you told your therapist, that what you are giving up does not equal what you are getting. So true. He sounds like he genuinely cares but yes, fishing for compliments and a bit too self satisfied with your care. I don’t think you should apologize but it might smooth things over to recognize what they have done to be helpful. Not necessary on your part just soothing bloated egos (not your job, but just to ear the mini rupture)
