Do you get frustrated in therapy?

I go over many anxieties and fears that are making my life very small. I feel hopeless and hanging by a thread, and have shared that fact too. When discussing traumas and subsequent fears that hold me back, because the therapist mainly just nods, I am always the one to try to find any healing tips or challenge my fear out loud. And I'm thinking, isn't my therapist supposed to challenge my thoughts at least sometimes??? I am there for input too, besides just sharing my fears or issues.

They did say to keep doing positive things I enjoy, but it's a Very blanketed statement. I really need some more reflection on my issues than only one line.
Do you ever feel that way?
