Welcome to psychcentral! What might be important for you is to find out what modality of therapy in which your therapist was engaging. There are many types and philosophies about how to help a patient heal. Then research some about other therapies... some info is available from the resource listing here at PC! To me, you like to find out what is causing a problem to make it tangible and thus easier for you to figure out how to correct "it." If that is how you approach life, then it might be best to find a therapist that works the same way.

Cognitive Behavior therapy will help in the respect that there are cognitive distortions we operate "with" and helping us realize when we are using one of them, so we can correct our thinking. Perhaps you would heal well with some for of this (CBT.) TC
