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.
