CBT therapists tend to be very cynical about 'insight'. They say:
'What is the measure of 'insight'? Behaviour change. So why talk about 'insight' when we can just talk about behaviour change?'
I have heard them run down the notion by saying that 'insight' is when the client agrees with the therapists interpretations. The mark of 'insight' is when the client swalllows the therapists interpretations whole and learns to anticipate them and come up with them themselves.
Maybe this is true sometimes.
But it doesn't have to be that way...
I am sorry you have had so many 'bad' therapists.
I am sorry for me too :-(
