Hi Bent,
I felt like this with my T for a very long time. And still do at some times. My T said something in relation to something else, but I found it helped a lot with this problem.
He said that he doesn't really openly state his caring very much, but that he prefers to show he cares in what he does. And that he hopes that I can see that over time he has remained committed to helping me overcome my difficulties.
This helped me a lot, the way he is always nice to me. That long term consistency. I really don't think he could have maintained that for so long if he didn't really care about me and want the best for me.
I still often get a mindset where I think we're a distant doctor/patient or where I'm just a time in his appointment book. But I try to think about that consistency of his to remind myself that this is just what I feel and believe. It isn't necessarily the truth.
