Yes Lily99,
I feel the same the same way. -Or actually I did and then I quit therapy. It is like a formula I think. They do X, Y, and Z and then you are supposed to be at point A, B, & C. Most t's aren't expecting it to take years upon years. I emailed my t and told him that I was aware that there was no working alliance anymore between us. And asked him to please not email back. He didn't.
I do not personally plan on trying to find another t. While the thought is tempting to find someone who will make me feel cared for like my t once did. I know that it is exhausting to put all of this effort in to a fake relationship. I am going to keep on with my new DBT skills group and try to connect with some of the girls in there.
I would suggest trying to resolve the issue first with your t like I did and if you don't find any resolution maybe start to entertain the thought of a new t or a different type of support for yourself. I know this is painful.
It sure is for me.............................
