I know that personally I feel that my therapist isn't helping me at all. That we aren't accomplishing anything. Has your therapist been able to help you in the past? Do you think that being depressed has something to do with your opinion of her helpfulness or lack thereof? Maybe you are at a dry spell and need to talk to her about it. Sometimes when I feel that way I tell my therapist that he's useless (Ack! I'm harsh!). He then reassures me of the progress we've made thus far and where we are headed. Maybe if she goes over your goals (you do have them, right?) and you can see where you started and the progress to date it might help to jump start therapy once again. And she may see the need for a different type of approach.
