I guess I am in a different camp. A psychodynamic style therapist would be totally, totally unhelpful for me. My first try at therapy was with a psychology student (phd level). He started with a psychodynamic style and I had a total meltdown. He switched to giving me more feedback and telling me what he was thinking, and I improved quickly and dramatically. I see a cognitive behaviorist now (although that is not exclusively what he does) and I again, I have seen dramatic improvements in my moods and ability to relate to others. The style of therapy you are getting simply wouldn't work for me.
Thanks for this!
