Stay with new therapist?

So I began seeing her back in January. I have been with her nearly 4 months. She is positive and kind and empathic...but doesn't SAY much to me about my issues. If I talk about having no self esteem from decades of horrible abuse, instead of asking further questions or brainstorming NEW ways I can view myself..she mainly agrees or nods. To most issues. I talk for 45 out of 50 minutes. She will offer typically one line towards the end that I find positive. But with the level of anxiety that has made my life stuck..I need more than one line really in 50 minutes. However I am so stuck I just grasp at that one thought and am grateful for it anyways. But to try to find ANOTHER therapist is daunting. To start my story AGAIN with someone new; It can feel exhausting sometimes. Would you just ask directly for tips or possibly find another fit?

If youre the one putting in so much effort....bypass the therapist and be your own.

There's enough information and help on YouTube for you to find a path forward that resonates with you .
And not empty your wallet to someone who isn't earning it.

@OogieBoogie I think I do need a person .. i have debilitating PTSD that unfortunately online aid doesn't fully help. I guess I will need to ask for feedback more.. for now anyways. Ty my friend 🫂
