Thanks. I donīt expect her to care like a friend does but I have several T:s to compare with and I know a lot T:s are more caring and show more warmth than my T.
Her techniques arenīt making me comfortable, they just make me feel itīs a fake relationship and that she knows how to pretend to care. Iīve tried this for several months, to see past our differences and things she said I didnīt like and such but sooner or later you reach a point where too much goes wrong.

Pretty sure I've written this before, but--it sounds to me like you really need to stop paying so much attention to your T and just pay attention to yourself, what's on your mind and what you can learn about yourself in therapy. That way you don't need to have a "perfect" therapist. It's on you to make the most out of therapy.
