WOOO, slugdoo. First, you said your therapist said he does like you. Second, he did not say he doesn't care about you outside the sessions. He said he doesn't go around thinking about you all the time or the other people he sees. I realize it seems he must not care; I was where you are once upon a time. I also know that just because I did not go around thinking about patients after hours, it did not mean I didn't care. If a therapist went around thinking about patients 24-7, that therapist would soon be ineffective and unable to help. I know that must sound weird, but it is true.
Don't give up on your therapist yet. It sounds like it was too much for him to hit you with all at once--rather blunt. Sorry about that.
