Hey riptide. Sorry you're struggling with this. Finding a good therapist often means doing quite a bit of "shopping around". If you've been seeing him for several months now what you see is probably what you're going to get. Before jumping ship tho, I would have a conversation with him and tell him that you're not getting what you need, which is XXX, and does he think he can help with this or would you be better moving on to someone else? I'm a believer that before we jump ship, they deserve some feedback and a chance to improve (if you've invested this much time and money into them).
At the end of the day, it very well may be that he's not the right fit for you and he may be able to refer you to someone else instead. Change is always hard, especially when we invest emotionally, so I hope you can make some progress with this guy and keep going.
