Sounds like you want therapists to tell you specific things to do to make you feel better. Is that right? I don't think they can do that. Maybe CBT therapy tells you some specific things to do, like deep breathing, etc. Other people understand CBT more than me. I don't know whether or not you'd believe the things CBT says to do could help.
Anyway, I think therapy is more complicated than them just giving you information. It's about understanding feelings and emotions, because that's what can help you feel better. They are more complicated and less clear and definite than logical information. But I think you already figured that out, so I don't know why I'm saying it
