This is the classic "Blank Slate" technique. The idea is that the less you know about your T, the easier it is to project feelings onto her.
Frankly, I hate this and I have doubts about the theoretical justification. But if your T believes in it, she won't budge.
Your options are (a) to accept that T won't open up, or (b) to find one that will. Either way, you've got some grieving ahead of you. Sorry!
