What "needs" are you referring to?
I also strongly relate to your post.
I'm deeply attached to a therapist who, when I look at the situation objectively, probably is not able to do the trauma work I need to do. It's a miserably painful and convoluted situation to be in.
I find CBT mostly useless because it feels like lying to myself. Unfortunately, my therapist's main obsession is CBT.
I hear only good things about EMDR.
My heart goes out to you. And here's the thing: you sound profoundly depressed. I understand that you have all those bad feelings, hopelessness, and helplessness. And what feels like a perfectly logical desire to not exist. You mentioned that you've tried medication in the past and that it didn't help you. But what have you tried? There are sooo many antidepressants. Have you tried each one? It is very possible that your depression is telling you stories that are exaggerated.
The last point I want to mention is what someone else on this thread posted. You are not too much for your therapist. Your therapist, however, may well be not enough for you.
I know that's horribly hard to hear, but in your case it may be true.
