Maybe you can find some help just by participating in the Psych Central forums in ways that are helpful to you. Maybe a different type of therapy would be better for you than psychodynamic. If you can find someone who does Client Directed Therapy, that might be a way for you and the therapist to work out something tailored to you needs, rather than trying to use an "off the shelf" therapy. But please don't think you need to feel ashamed or that you are inferior because therapy hasn't work for you (although I can certainly understand feeling disappointed, frustrated, or discouraged). People vary tremendously, and the therapy profession hasn't yet figured out how to help everyone.
