Welcome!! I hope you find this place as insightful and helpful as I have.

Therapy has all kinds of highs and lows and sometimes the "blahs" in-between. If you relationship with your T is new, he or she is probably just trying to give you breathing space to settle in and get comfortable. Much of their job is to listen.

It does help to bring up anything that bothers you about therapy. It helps to try to let your T know in a non-judgemental way "Hey, i feel alone here--can you offer some advice?"
Usually, once a T learns what you as an individual need, they will adapt their approach. Without bringing it up, you may never know though. But once you do, it can be a relief and it can move therapy forward.

There are instances where you and the T are just not a great match in temperament. (happened to me once) So if it doesn't get better, dr shopping isn't a bad thing
