therapy not working, what to say, who to see???

Posted by madison88 on September 10, 2002, at 22:41:13

I have been seeing my psychologist for a little over a year. to be honest, nothing ever really clicked from the beginning. she has asked me what i needed and i said i needed her to be direct and insightful. she is great at sympathizing, but it makes me feel like i am just spitting out shit and she is just agreeing with me that yes life is difficult and yes i have problems. i have been putting this off for the last four months and have to find somebody else. I don't know how to tell her. I have never done that before and it is causing panic on my part.
i have some background on the types of therapy out there, but i am wondering if maybe there are certain types that work better with OCD, depression, and anxiety? I know i definately do not want psychoanalytic therapy (Freudian). I am a person who is very rational and logical, and i have to have therapy that works with ideas, with abstract reasoning. if anybody has any suggestions as to how to end a theraputic relationship or any experience in helpful therapies, i would love to hear from you!
