I saw a therapist who was analytical, and I experienced something similar to you when I tried to discuss the therapy with her. She would never accept what I said about my therapy at face value and actually discuss what I said. I think that her style was undermining and disrespectful and totally untherapeutic. Her style made her into the 'expert', and also gave her the power. I kind of feel that her training and time as a therapist, and her own experience of analysis herself sort of brain washed her into believing that what she was doing was therapeutic. I'm now seeing a different T who I think had quite similar training, but who works very differently and who discusses and respects the things I bring up. I'm in the UK too, I know that it is possible to find T's who will offer low cost therapy to those on low incomes, most of the T's I tried out offer this.
