She either needs to say she cannot see you anymore, or give you something specific she needs you to work on to meet her halfway. Otherwise, saying she is fed up and that you expect too much is something she should not say to you, as that is about her emotions or limitations to help you, and not you. I really don't know how anyone could get something out of therapy like that, and actually I think I would find it made me worse. I don't know the whole situation of course, or your relationship, but I would totally find a new therapist were I in that situation.

i know of a case where the client came every week for 6 months and never said a word. At some point after the 6 months the person started talking and the treatment ended up being very successful.
maybe you should look for an analyst...behaviorists get more upset when "goals" arent being actively discussed every week.
