I do get what you are talking about, I felt that way with my old man T. I feel we were meant to come together for him to teach me what he knows. He has been doing therapy for over 40 years, and has used a lot of methods, but the one that has stayed consistent through out the years is giving patients unconditional positive regard (Carl Rogers) I hope some day to equal his knowledge of what he knows and how he is as a T. He was like a mentor to me and it was so valuable.
The thing I keep coming to is that your T can talk about theories as long as it pertains to your issues. While having intellectual conversations are wonderful ( I love them), I am just curious if you might be using them as an escape of your issues to work on in therapy. I could be totally off base, I am just talking from my experiences.
