Maybe she wants you to say something other than "I don't know" in response to her questions and you aren't ready to talk about that yet.
I gotta say, throughout the course of my therapy the onus of the work has been on me. In fact, of all the things I have ever done, therapy is right up there with the most difficult.
If you think she is cold and perhaps too goal oriented, then to me you have three options:
1. You can quit.
2. You can talk to her about her demeanor and how you are perceiving her comments and maybe reach a common ground where you both are more comfortable in the therapy. See if you can clearly articulate the problem with specific suggestions for what you like her to do.
3. You can see her once a month and continue on the way things are.
