Hi everyone,

I am just about to start psychotherapy again but this time I am hoping to look for the most suitable one for my needs. My issues are bereavement (my mother died one and a half years ago) and siblings emotional problems.
Last time I had psychotherapy the type of therapy she was using is I think psychoanalytical therapy, I am not an expert but all I did is talk, she hardly interacted and I was talking and talking with hardly any words from her, aside for compassion and empathy. That type of therapy doesn't work very well with me. I like to talk and the therapist to make sense or not to my concerns, explain patterns of thinking and how can I find solutions. I am a very analytical person, I like to analyze everything and find an explanation of why things are the way they are. For example, I never bonded with my sisters, I am the youngest and my middle sister was really horrible to me, always put me down, shouted at me, never supported me, and reading in one of this psychology sites, I found the explanation. My parents had a very difficult relation ship because of financial problems, she wasn't happy with the way things were I suppose because she was five years older than me she was more aware of the situation so she was a survivor, and she was vented all her bottled anger, frustration and unhappiness at me. Just as simple as that it helped me comprehend the situation and it makes sense. My psychotherapist couldn't come up with a reflection like that, and she was very neutral most of the sessions, just listened.
What kind of therapy should I ask for to suit my needs?

Many thanks for reading my post.
