Could you change to a more caring therapist who would be more willing to show you with his/her words that they care about you?
Your therapist does seem to lack empathy and I am wondering if that would do you any good, even if he is the expert on that subject.
My current therapist is little like that, she doesn't show too much empathy or kindness.. But I don't need it now, so I am ok with her and she has other strenghts. I wouldn't have been ok with that approach two years back when I was not so strong. I needed someone more caring and empathetic and affectionate and needed to know I could trust. IF your therapist is not providing that for you when you need it, then go and find someone else who would.
