I think ruh roh and itisnt are right on. It seems to me that you are "stuck" at having recognized your issues but they aren't improving. Now is the time to do, not think. It doesn't matter if x during the week illustrates your negative self-image; it matters what you do about it.

It's like medical treatment. Say you have a heart attack. Your doctors save you, and then they give you a bunch of advice - lose weight, exercise more, whatever applies. It is up to you to do those things. The doctor just checks up on you occasionally. The doctor can't make you do the things that are good for you. Likewise your therapist can't make your negative self-image go away. That's your baby. She acts as a kind of anchor, a base to check in with. Some people say a mirror or a cheerleader.

Are you sure psychodynamic therapy is right for you? You seem sometimes to think that the therapist is an authority figure who should be training you. That's really not how psychodynamic therapy works (in my understanding). There are other types of therapy that will provide you with that model.
