It does sound as though you have tried extremely hard on this issue, and have thought it through very carefuly. She may not be able to interact with you in a way that's genuinely helpful to you, despite the mutual warmth and liking, etc. From the point of view of an outside observer, it seems like a real limitation in HER skills, but I know that anyone interacting in a situation like this is going to blame themselves- it's so hard not to, but I hope you can take a step back and truly realize that it's not your fault.

It can be so hard to find a therapist who feels just *right*, but they are definitely out there. I interviewed four in the process of searching for the terrific one I have now. I know you're a student, so your options are probably much more limited, but could you interview the other therapists at your health service- kind of as if you were an employer looking for the best job applicant- and see if you find someone who's a better fit for you? Any awkwardness you feel would only be temporary, wouldn't it?
