Thank you all for your support. I was not sure if it was just me and I am just "unhelpable", but your responses make me feel a lot better about my doubts. Doc John: that is exactly what she says - how does this relate to other times in your life you've felt uncared for - it was making me wonder if I was selecting relationships (including therapy) where people do not care for me as I feel this way often - friends, family. (Except my husband. I don't know what I would do without him.) Other than on this board, I have great difficulty discussing my feelings because I am afraid the person does not care and am terrified of being exposed... and this therapist makes me feel this way. I would say half of my sessions are spent in silence because I can't disclose anything to her and then she seems to get frustrated and angry with me. I have my appt with this other therapist on Wed so I will see how that goes.
