My view on therapists, which I think most therapists would agree with, is that their help doesn't come by the way of them handing out a fix. They are your team member. This way, at least 2 insightful people are on Team Hypopup - them and YOU. They can't help you by the way of just giving you an answer to solve your problem(s) . . . you do it together . So, if you are feeling like you are not receiving enough guidance or verbal feedback, maybe let your T know exactly that and then ask them What the 2 of you can do together to improve your sessions. Maybe that can get things going in the right direction, or perhaps your T may recommend another professional more suited to you.
Also, I've read on this forum that some people who have a hard time opening up to their T find it easier if they write down their thoughts/concerns on paper or via email and let their T read it. Takes some of the pressure off of you speaking it. Others will share their post with their T. I think these are really great approaches. Maybe they can be useful for you.
