Has anybody here ever consulted a therapist to talk about their relationship with their existing therapist? My t and i seem to be stuck in a repetitive bind that is preventing me from moving forward. she's a great therapist and very supportive but there are a couple of issues that continually repeat with us and do not seem to be resolvable. We've talked about the issues several times before, but it always seems to lead to another impasse. I don't know what to do about it.

Also, I've been seeing my t for a very long time (10 years) and wonder why, since i've been in t that long and we both work so hard, why am i not farther along the road to healing?

So. . .I was considering going to a new t just for a couple of sessions, in order to talk about my situation with current t. I thought that maybe a t who does not know either one of us and can look at the situation objectively might be able to see where we're stuck and/or need to go a different direction to get past this impasse. I would also talk to the t about my length of therapy with my t, the attachment issues, and so on. I would also be curious to know if that t would suggest continuing to work things out with my t or change t's. (I don't know if i could possibly do that, but would want to know the objective t's opinion anyway.)

Has anybody ever done this? I would feel bad and guilty about doing this, as it seems like i'd be going behind my t's back. but then again, t's go to consultation about us, don't they?

Please let me know your thoughts.
