Thanks. There´s no point in going deeper if my counselor doesn´t follow which is my point through out this post. I´ve brought to her a document where I state what I need and want to talk about, what goals I have and that I want emotional understanding and processing as part of treatment. To just go along with her and change my requirements would be of no use as then we would mostly continue chit-chatting and my real issues wouldn´t be dealt with.

Maybe the counselor shouldn't be the one to make changes to fit what you say you require. Maybe you need to change your requirements. Example, push yourself to go deeper. I hope that makes sense.
