It is difficult when you are attached to your therapist while concurrently feeling like he/she doesn't understand you. Can you interview other therapists while you are still seeing the one you have? You will know when another therapist "gets" you, or at least I did quickly with my new therapist, and a little over a year later, I still know that I have the right therapist. I don't have to constantly explain to him or help him understand who I am, and why I behave the way I behave. Instead of focusing on helping him understand me, I can focus on getting better. Maybe you can ease your way into seeing a new therapist? You deserve to have a therapist that understands you and can help you. It's not your job to help your therapist have more empathy for you, you shouldn't even have to ask that question. I wish there was something I could say to convince you how imperative it is for you to find a new therapist, but I know the difficult position you are in. I'll just offer my support, PM me if you need to talk. Take care.
