Thanks here today. I agree I canīt do much more than what I did and itīs not up to me only to adapt or to fix things. Yes, I am very lonely and it also makes me very vulnerable when it comes to counsellors, therapists and so on.
Itīs very hard to decide what to do as on one hand I donīt want to leave this therapist and be completely without support but on the other hand some of the meetings with her are such a disappointment they make me feel even worse.
Yes, partly our church counsellors have a different take on what they do. My therapist isnīt specifically affected by church work per se but more that she holds a different, less qualified education. Iīve come to notice this more and more as I realise she doesnīt understand much about psychological processes, like why a person is depressed, why I have a low self image and such.

So, for what it's worth, it seems like you've tried to address a situation that doesn't work for you, that doesn't seem "right" to you and. . .no change that you can see in that situation. You've done what you can do. That's all you can do, what other people do is up to them. As is the decision to stay or leave up to you.
You've written before about how alone you feel. It makes me feel sad. So, even though I'm not a fan of therapy in general, it makes me feel sad, too, to think of you leaving this therapist. Maybe "church counselors" have a different take on what they are trying to do, IDK?
