I just started seeing a new therapist about a month ago. I went to a different therapist about a year ago for a few months but quit because I felt that her approach was destructive. This time around, what led me to start therapy again was that I'm dealing with a serious issue in my life and I'm having depression and anxiety due to the situation.

I do like some things about my therapist. However, the thing I just can't stand is her constant picking apart of my past. I came to her specifically to work through something that is happening presently, and all she seems to want to talk about is my past, and show me how feelings that I had in the past are resurfacing now.

While I did have a few rough years in my life during adolescence, I feel that I have already worked through those feelings and situations. When my therapist constantly brings things up and tries to relate what's happening now to what happened in the past, it doesn't make me feel like I'm bringing up any buried emotions, it just makes me feel frustrated because I want to talk about what's happening now. I really don't think that the emotions I'm having are related to anything that happened in the past. I think anyone in my situation would be feeling this way no matter what happened to them when they were young.

This is just making me feel like maybe therapy isn't for me. Should I voice my concerns to this therapist, (even though I feel like she's just going to try to convince me I'm wrong), or look for another therapist? What are your thoughts on therapists who constantly pick apart your past, especially if you feel that the past is already resolved?
