i’ve been seeing a therapist for 3 months.

i’ve learned absolutely nothing. 

and today my therapist asked me why i keep coming back?

The problem I had with therapy was that I wanted to understand what the issue was and how to fix it. But a lot of talk therapy leans on the idea that I already have the answers and the therapist is just there to ask the right questions. That might work for some people, but if I’m seeking therapy, it’s probably because I’ve already asked myself every question I can think of. I’ve hit the limit of what I can solve on my own. I think this is common for people with analytical minds like mine, especially folks in tech. What I need at that point isn’t more reflection, it’s something I haven’t tried yet. New tools, new strategies, or even just more structure. I’ve heard CBT might be a better fit for this.
