Maybe the point of your therapy was not to change but just to be heard? Or to help you cope?

I don't think everyone's therapy has the same "point." I'm not sure that everyone goes to therapy to change. Sometimes change is the byproduct not the goal. I think this is generally the case for me. I don't usually go to therapy planning to acquire a specific skill or change a specific quality or behaviour. But that is what ultimately happens. I think those changes have been for the better, generally.

If you're not getting what you want, maybe find a new therapist or take a break or (if you haven't already) talk to your current therapist about what you feel is missing.
Thanks for this!
