You are the one characterizing it as an indication of caring; you have no way of knowing if she sees it the same way.

I agree with this and would then ask you to consider why you make assumptions about what other people do as an index of them caring about you? My guess is you have other people in your life for whom you have/had made assumptions that they don't care about you because they do or don't do x, y, z. In my experience raising a teenager, this is an adolescent view of relationships. How many of us when we were teenagers accused our parents, "You don't care about me!" when they refused to do something we wanted.
I think your assumption that your T doesn't care about you because of this is the real issue, not whether you should quit therapy or not. Therapy has just revealed an underlying problem with your view of social relationships.
