I'm in analytically oriented therapy, which at times has become full on analysis (like daily sessions). I wonder what type of approach your therapist has. There are many different schools and they differ quite a lot on how they do things. Some have abandoned both interpretation (insight) and dismantling defenses almost all together. There is a lot of movement toward attunement and non-verbal regulation of affect which cannot be done in words though they can be talked about afterwards or in general. There are also moves toward enactments which bring forward non-verbal, unrepresented material in both patient and analyst and then work this through as a process together. In these approaches the relationship is center stage. After all insight is great at times but it is well known that people don't necessarily change due to insight. Emotions and unformulated experience/parts of self not to mention the unconscious are just not very affected by intellectual and cognitive processing. It may help contain or explain things, but not actual do any real work. My therapist often says that one should hold one's theories lightly. That is you don't hammer away at something because you are convinced it is the truth meanwhile ignoring everything else.
