Um---I wasn't in the sessions so I don't know the tone of what was said, which can make all the difference. But none of those sound like very nice things to say. Of course, all therapists have different styles and some are more confrontational.
As far as the "I've taught you all I know," it's probable that he was trying to get you to become more adept at finding your own answers. But it sounds like you didn't mesh with this person. I'm sorry it didn't work out, and I think if you have any lingering feelings about it, it might be productive to go back for a session or two to clarify what he meant. I'd certainly feel rejected by that comment, so I don't think you're out on a limb at all.
