You can tell her what you feel you need from her. And she can decide whether she can provide it. Beyond that, stopdog has some excellent alternatives.

I recently had a difficult conversation with my T about how she felt coerced (my word) into responding to me in a certain way. I'd imagine it might ring kind of hollow for your T to follow your script for support if it doesn't fit with how she envisions offering support. I'm still trying to learn this lesson myself, so no judgment, just observation.
