Auto, this sounds like a problem! You know you the client is supposed to do all the talking and to lead the way in sessions, right? Haveshe brought up the subject with you? I remember ex t sitting me down and having a talk with me about not talking enough and she felt like she was having to do all the work.
As for the lack of empathy- this would really bother me, have you spoke to her about this? Have you told her about your parents reactions to sadness and that you need some sympathy sometimes and that her no nonsense approach doesn't always work for you?
I hope it works out as you have been seeing her for a long time now (hugs)
