10 sessions is really a short time to make significant changes, even though it may not seem so - I can understand how it feels to be hopeless and see you're not getting better, but just know that this isn't unusual for just 10 sessions. It could be the short time or it could be the fact that this therapist isn't helping you. You could tell the difference by talking to her about this and also thinking about a few things for yourself. For example, were you hopeless before entering therapy with this person? Did you feel you couldn't be helped? There are people who just feel that way about themselves and it's a belief that can possibly prevent one from getting useful help. But on the other hand it may also be that you felt and feel you can be helped and just don't see this particular therapist as having the necessary skills to help you, in which case it would make sense to move on. Have you seen more therapists to choose one you would continue see? That could help you have a range of options, It could be the personality or school of thought that the therapist is focusing on and you might need a different approach. You could just quit, but personally the fact that you ask the question sounds to me like there may also be a part of you wanting to stay. Is there perhaps something that you are getting out of these sessions? You can always look up other therapists and perhaps, if you want, have an honest talk with thistherapist to try and figure out what is happening. That in itself could be a very good clarification for you, to know how to proceed. Good luck!
