I've seen a few different therapists over the years, and I distinctly remember one who I didn't see very long at all because it felt like all she did was give advice / correct my thinking and beliefs. Some people probably respond well to that sort of thing, but I didn't. My current T is very accepting and nonjudgmental no matter what I talk about. He doesn't offer advice or correct my thinking unless it's a gentle reminder of something we've already discussed, and it never feels corrective in nature. He helps me look at things from different angles until I find the one that feels best for me.
I can understand your frustration, and I wonder what you think about talking to your therapist about these concerns. I think until there is some sort of discussion about it, it's likely not going to go away. Just my two cents!
