It does sound like your current plan has hit a plateau and both your T and you are frustrated. Sticking with the current plan isn't likely to change anything, so you could either check out a different T, or talk to your current T and discuss changing the approach a bit.

I do understand how you feel. My pdoc called me out on "talking in circles" a few years back and it felt pretty bad. However, it did work. He is a kick you in the pants person too and so is my Therapist. Both are psychodynamic but also use elements of CBT.

Do you think you are less fond of CBT type therapies because of the demands it puts on you? I've been in treatment on and off for over 25 years, and while psychodynamic therapy does help with feeling heard and validated, for me it wasn't helpful with my low self esteem and relationships. Like you, those things seemed to get worse. the first time I tried CBT I hated it and quit. It took me too far out of my comfort zone. But then going back into T 5 years ago, tried it again and had a better reaction. My therapy is a mash up of what ever works, nothing rigid at all. It might be worth it to go over what your goals in therapy are, if you are ready for significant changes in your life and how you should go about pursuing them.
