Hey, i think I can somehow see what you mean.
I've only tried psychodynamic therapy. I do not have diagnosis of any sort, I suffer from anxiety, insomnia and depressive periods that come and go and sometimes stay for several months.
Whilst therapy helped me get out of the latest deep depressive episode by targeting a specific topic that was messing me up, I believe therapy has contributed to making me feel worse lately, as in for the past 3 months. I believe this is because now that I've targeted a specific triggering circumstance, there's nothing to talk about. I am still the same person and I have a tendency to not sleep feel, feel anxious and fall into depression. Therapy fished out painful memories that definitely contributed to making me how I am...but so what? No solution whatsoever is coming up. It feels really aimless and a waste of time and money.
I would like to try other types of therapy though to see if they have any more effect on me.

So it sounds like you tried some therapy? What type what is? How was your experience in more detail?
