I don't know why therapists think they know stuff that is accurate to tell the client. I have never found the woman to have insight/intervention/talky stuff that was useful or particularly applicable or unknown to me. I had to be quite firm in getting her to quit talking.

Could you try a couple of other ones out while still seeing the one you have? I found that quite useful also. It is quite interesting to me that both of the ones I see call themselves psychodynamic but how very little the first one gets of what I am trying to tell her and how much the second one does seem to understand what I am saying (the second does not always agree - but I do usually leave not feeling completely misunderstood like happens with the first)
