That's what I've been thinking. This particular therapist seems to be Psychodynamic as far as the framework she uses. Come to think of it, sometimes she would make statements at the end of therapy when I would ask her what to do about something (after gaining insight about something in my past, yet me not having any clue on how to apply what I learned in therapy), and she would simply say, "Well that's why you're in therapy now." And she would end on that note, as if there's something earth shattering yet to be revealed that will dramatically help me in the next session. (I know I'm being a little sarcastic here, but still...it never resulted in me learning anything that can help my current situation or ways to cope). Maybe that's her way of hooking people to keep them engaged, like keeping you on the edge of your seat for the next week.

I am not trying to say she hasn't been helpful. I appreciate her support, and she's a very sweet person, but I'm just a little disappointed. I need help with coping skills. I've tried to tell her this, and I'll get maybe a little bit, but it would be nice to find someone who has expertise in CBT/DBT since most of mine are too Freudian. If I switch, I'm afraid I'll get somebody worse, but maybe I need to see how the next few sessions go (?)
