Your description of your therapy really reminds me of my first therapy experience. I too felt that it somehow eroded my coping skills and that the therapist did not value my coping skills. I saw that therapist for 9 months and over that time felt worse and worse. I too didn't want to start again with a new therapist. I'm now seeing my third therapist, with this therapist I am finding that I feel good after sessions. She also validates my own coping skills.
