This must sound crazy but I'm not sure, even after six years of therapy, what I should expect from therapy.

I have had 3 therapists in the last six years. The first I really liked but she said that she didn't know what else to do with me so she sent me to another guy who she thought was more educated and could really help me. I hated him. He left me feeling so inferior every week. After a few months I couldn't take him anymore. Now I have a therapist who seems like a very nice lady but she spends most of our sessions shooting the breeze with my husband. What a waste of time and money.

I have depression and social anxiety. I'm thinking of trying another therapist.? But I realized that I'm not sure what I should be getting from a therapist.? I don't think anyone has really gotten deep inside of me enough to help me to find out what my problems stem from. But maybe thats not what they are supposed to be doing.? I just feel like such a misfit and so down.

Sorry, I am just rambling. But what do you expect to get from therapy? I feel like I am no better off today than I was 6 years ago. Why doesn't therapy work for me?

Thanks for reading my ramblings. I hope I haven't brought anyone down.
