I had the same issue with therapy, not challenging enough for my taste and to be truly useful. Unconditional acceptance and positive regard does nothing to me except enabling self-defeating behaviors. I would have wanted my Ts to call me out on my BS and to ask me probing questions and share observations and insights that provide a different perspective and potentially more useful tools to work on my issues. No such luck and it greatly contributed to why I gave up on therapy in the end. Looking more at the different types, I now think that a life coach or occupational therapist that focus on practical solutions and function might have been more useful for me. I do introspection and self-exploration all the time on my on, with friends, colleagues and have many supportive people around me, don't need a paid person just for those things. I also have challenge but not many people who challenge me on how I sometimes get in my own way, other than some peers who have experienced similar things and dare to be very honest and direct.

CBT may be practical but very simplistic and I can easily practice it on my own, no need to pay someone and go to appointments. Accountability can be good but I doubt it is serious in therapy, if I don't do any of the things discussed, there will be no consequences in my life. What I like more is seeing good examples for great discipline. That can be quite inspiring.

I had an interest in existential therapy in the past because it is supposed philosophical nature but, again, I have many people to be philosophical with and discuss how to create a meaningful life in everyday life, for free.
