I read your story and I can relate because I have been in therapy as well. I have not been with a therapist as long as many others as I find some that I just don't get much from the discussions. I am your age (57). Have you ever wondered if maybe our age plays into our own therapy? I am currently seeing a young man (LCSW) and he seems rather young to me. I was not impressed with him so I fired him due to reasons that aren't related to yours. Here is where I did something out of character for me. I decided to rehire him and he took me back with open arms. I decided to look at my weaknesses and one of them is not sticking to anything and I decided to go back and try to work with him. So far, it has been a much better experience. I think it is because I am looking at my own shortcomings more than his. I am not saying that you should go back as that is your choice.

I do understand that you felt that you didn't know what she was doing for you so maybe change would be a good idea. I would be up front with whomever you choose and state that you need a goal in working with them. Maybe that would help.

Hope this helps in some small way.
