Hi Morgan,
after working with my current therapist for 21 months now, I too have come to the conclusion that I am not making progress in the ways that I want to. So I asked for a referal to someone else and am now just waiting for a first appointment. Meanwhile, I feel like I am just stringing my current therapist along somewhat.
I won't leave myself without someone to talk to each week, so until I have actually checked out the new person, I won't allow myself to simply jump ship. And I am not looking forward to the day when I finally do say to the current one "OK, I'm out of here." But the fact is there have been problems for me in this situation from the start. But given that I am forced to stick with therapists covered by 'the state' (ie the CDN healthcare system) and there are not a lot to go around, I have given it my best effort.
Anyhow, I can relate to your struggle to come clear with what to do. Bottom lines for me: I have the right to decide what care is appropriate and beneficial for me. And I am not responsible for the feelings of any professional with whom I deal. That is why they are called professionals.
