I'm struggling and I'm frustrated. I started talk or psychodynamic therapy nine months ago for anger and feeling out of control and have figured out some things that I buried deep down I buried alive. I have identified some big issues I need to work through. I've brought them to my T. attention...we try to talk about them... but I get triggered.... I dissociate... I do everything but "work through" them. Now I'm not consciously avoiding these things...I'm the one who told T. I want to work through these things but I can't get to a place emotionally to do that...

I think the psychodynamic (talk) therapy theory is that the healing happens in the theraputic relationship....So for those of you who have had more than one T. in your journey or who just have an opinion.... Does the T. make the difference? I'm just wondering if a different therapist would be able to get me over the hump or if its just me and this is as far as I'll get....I see a male T. and maybe things would be different with a female T?.. I'm paying $120 for 45 minutes and I'm beginning to wonder about the cost vs benefit of continuing therapy...
