I'll give answering my best try Kari. As I posted, my therapy is more supportive than exploratory, although I have recently had discussions with my therapist that I think it might be time to move forward.
There are all sorts of therapy that attempt to get deeper, faster. Have you tried EMDR or bodywork?
And even in conventional therapy, I have found my own therapy moving to a deeper level as I have made myself more vulnerable. There are so many stumbling blocks. Not being open and totally honest, fighting the feelings of dependence, accepting the relationship as it is, and the therapist as he is rather than what he should be. I know my therapy is much more meaningful now that I have dropped my defenses.
I'm not sure if any of this strikes a chord, or is what you are looking for. What sort of therapy are you interested in exploring?
