My T sometimes says things like "X you do is normal" (how I feel or how I act or whatever else it could be). He doesn't do this to tell me that I am completely fine and normal and shouldn't receive therapy, but to make me feel less alone. So I know that everyone is depressed from time to time. Everyone is sad sometimes, everyone sometimes does things even though he didn't want to, and so on.

Could it be your T wanted to say something more along the lines of that? Of course it can still be minimizing and I also think it might be a good idea to bring it up with him. Ts sometimes try out some things with clients to see what works and what does not. For me it works that my T says things like that, for you it doesn't. But your T can't know that it hurts or bothers you without you telling him. If you tell him, he can improve.
