I think I have posted about this before so excuse me if I am a broken record.

I read Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors and one of the things she talks about is impasse or seemingly unresolvable conflict in the therapy relationship. She describes how such stuckness can be an indication that the client is experiences internal conflict between different parts. Such conflict leads to a psychic paralysis which then shows itself (without resolution if no therapeutic intervention takes place) in the therapy relationship. Who knows how accurate this is, but I have found the concept useful in my therapy when I feel a lack of progress or attunement.

I don't think this is a get out of jail free card for a useless therapist, but since you have found him useful in the past it might be worth exploring with him.

I also agree with other posters than 7 years is not necessarily a long time in terms of resolving significant, life long issues.
Thanks for this!
