You said a lot in that session. I think it was very insightful and represents some core issues you could explore deeper or continue to explore.

I always liked yout T and still do. His responses were interpretations, which seems to have been lacking in what you needed. Maybe you didn't feel understood enough, or that you needed warmth and connection more than the interpretations. Timing of interpretations is a frequent issue with this type of therapy aka premature interpretation. Maybe you need a more solid relationship before he starts with the interpretations. That is my opinion as to where he's getting it wrong if missattunement is an issue.

You can always tell him exactly how you felt here- the feelings of incompleteness you were left with. It's like a mini-rupture, which can be a starting point for next session. Often the repairs of such ruptures can be healing. What you are looking for might come out of the next discussion....or it might not.

Alternatively, the feelings of incompleteness might represent how you felt with your father--you could never do enough to change the situation. If that's the case, this would be a repetition compulsion that you would work through. Only after you work it through (experience all the emotions and come to a conclusion/resolution) would you feel the sense of 'completeness' you are looking for. Maybe the acceptance that you cannot change the outcome, particularly winning your father's approval, is the 'end'. Perhaps unsatisfying, it can allow you to grieve and then move forward. That's the nature of exploratory therapy; this can be very rewarding as the compulsions end, allowing you to divert your energy to bettering your life.

The above represents a very exploratory type of therapy rather than supportive, which is how many psychoanalyts work. You seem responsive to pragmatism, and maybe you need more warmth, a more supportive type of therapist? I'm curious how your upcoming consultation goes and hope you keep us updated.
