Falls, I'm glad you found a way to view it as a learning experience instead of just painful. All therapists are different. What you described sounded a little cold, but you must have trust and history built up such that he could do that, and assume you'd be able to work it out on your own.
My therapist will often refuse to answer direct questions like that, but she'll at least guide me to answering them myself, usually by starting with 'Well what do you think?' so at least I don't leave the session feeling frustrated and lost.
Are you going to follow up with him about how you felt, and how hard the session was for you?
