Hi scallion5-- it seems like people get unhappy with therapy for two reasons: because it's not helping, or because it is. Sometimes when therapy is helping us get at difficult issues it's painful, and it's natural to blame the therapist for that pain. I don't know whether that's happening in this case or not. From what you write it sounds like it is not helping, but only you can honestly judge whether that's the case. If it's not, it's time for a mutual parting of the ways. There's no law against changing therapists, or trying to find one that's a better fit. If however you feel it is helping, it will be up to you to keep going, even though the going is tough and painful.
