Here's an article about feedback that might appeal to some therapists.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...t-know/517797/

It may get at what I see as a problem when I have tried to give feedback to therapists -- they take it personally, as a criticism, rather than "this is how this affected me, this isn't working for me, etc." Probably, too, it was the way that I expressed things but just bringing up the topics was an advancement for me. It would be interesting if my resulting discouragement would have shown up in the "metrics" the article describes. Too late now for me, but it would be great if therapists in general could get on board. Some tools are apparently out there -- the culture of therapy may be the problem. At least it seems like that to me. But, at least, the therapist-author was honest about things and maybe she can make a difference. The article certainly seems to be a start.
Thanks for this!
