For what it is worth, I think my issues are small and uninteresting too.

In some ways, I think a therapist can be expected to be even happier with the "relatively small issues" (I am not saying yours ARE small - just using your language) because they might actually be able to do something useful in a reasonable period of time. It is my understanding these t people do like to think they are helpful.
