But then, the one thing I find it really hard to mention or even identify within me is any personal feelings about the T herself. She is practically like a non-entity. She is again also not structuring or guiding the therapy whatsoever. Everything that happens is always 100% on my initiative. So I still don't know that that feels right either. Even with blank slate Ts, is it like that for other people?

If she's really a blank slate, I kinda doubt you'll have the doubts you do about care-taking. I suspect the blank-slate persona is covering up for something else -- most likely poor boundaries (not in the obvious sense but a more subtle emotional vibe) that you're picking up on.
Been there, done that, bought that t-shirt and sold it too -- so, maybe I'm projecting here.
Good luck....personally, when I quit and found another T (one who isn't a blank-slate but has incredibly good boundaries), it was really freeing.
