((((((((((ECHOES))))))))))

ECHOES, how do you want the sessions to be? I agree, "shallow and boring and blah" doesn't sound that desirable. What would you like? Have you ever had sessions like the ones you would like?

It sounds like you think more time would let the sessions be more like you want. Deeper? More meaningful? I do believe it is hard sometimes to just drop the mask of everyday coping and living and go plop on the couch in T's office and suddenly go into "deep and meaningful" mode. I can do that pretty well now, because I know in the end that if I don't, I will be very disappointed and have to wait 2 weeks for another session. So I liken myself to a trained seal--able to clap or bark on command. It's a weird place to be in, but without this, I would be highly dissatisfied. And having more frequent sessions doesn't always help, because it might mean you end up just having more unsatisfactory sessions.

I'm not sure there's an easy answer. I know you like to just let your sessions unfold, and follow what may come up. I wonder if you would be open to trying a different approach? Because maybe sometimes only things you consider "shallow or boring or blah" come up. Maybe try having the thing you want to talk about most (deep and meaningful or whatever it is you want) foremost in your mind so when session starts you can dive right into the most important topic instead of waiting for something to emerge. I know this may go against the way you like to do therapy, but maybe it could be useful for a few sessions to get you back in a direction you want to go in and that is what you want.
