And it's great to have continuing support! Oh, I wish I had it from my therapist :)
But, I think to end the "slump" maybe you could focus more on things you may be avoiding (are you avoiding anything??) You could have a monumental breakthrough if you shift focus to things that you don't regularly engage in discussing. For me personally, when I started therapy my father was perfect, so we didn't discuss him. Later, as I revealed memory problems and sexual problems, I learned why my father was perfect in my head, and why I'm constantly searching for a rescue from an older man.
Look at your difficulties that you can't seem to overcome and that may lead to a breakthrough of sorts. (Even though personaly I think you are perfect! :) you may not. Ask why you don't think you're perfect, ect.. Just asking yourself questions and giving honest answers may help... I do it all the time, but I don't like the interviewee's answers :)
