Have you tried a very traditionally trained psychodynamic therapist, especially an M.D.? This was my first successful experience in therapy, I saw him for around 2 years. He was kind and gentle in his style, yet he was very much a "blank slate" in response to whatever I shared with him. He was impossible to rattle, always completely calm no matter what the topic was, never intrusive in his questioning, a master at letting things evolve. He was detached, but not in a cold, distant, or uncaring way.
