I´ve been seeing my new T for about 10 times now and I still feel I don´t bring anything of value from our sessions. I like talking to her, like in general, but I don´t feel we´re on a path to change or insight.

I´m within psychodynamic therapy and for me that´s the only choice, I´m not looking for therapy with homework and such and I´ve also been in a shorter psychodynamic therapy before.

I haven´t got anything with me that makes me think differently or become engage in some new ideas about my life. My former therapy was a lot more about me thinking of both my T and therapy, I thought about it often between sessions.

I know the psychodynamic therapy can take some time but I´m worried it will continue like this. Has anyone else experienced this?

For how long did you have to see your T to be able to feel change or insight?

Hi sarah, I've been in therapy for over a year now. My t used a mixture of approches on me. I feel that my change so to speak did take a while. I feel I have only just started to notice and process my changes. I think with all the approaches, change can take time. It wont happen over night.
I think sometimes, it doesn't feel or you don't feel any different but other people and your t can see and notice a change.
I say, give yourself time and also the approach time as it can be lengthy and sometimes confusing. I hope that makes sense?!

I think change can be very slow. I've been seeing my new T for about ten months now. I don't think that I felt any change after 10 weeks, but I do now. I think that in the early weeks I didn't feel safe enough to have the kind of conversations that have been the most helpful. These are conversations where Ive talked about how vulnerable I feel in my relationship with my T. Also I've talked about my feelings about my relationship with my ex-T. That has also been helpful. It's almost been easier to talk about my vulnerability and difficult feelings that came up with my ex-T, my new T and I have learnt a lot from discussing that. We mainly talk about my life, past and present.

10 sessions are, in the grand scheme of things, nothing.
I didn't feel change after 10 sessions. Actually I almost gave up after two months because I wasn't feeling it. I'm glad I decide to stick with it.
I don't know, do you feel it's her specifically and then you should perhaps change therapists. If it's just because of the ten sessions, I think you should continue with her. Even a little bit.
Good luck
