I think for people as insightful as you, it might be very well a struggle with almost all therapists - because perhaps you will always know a better question to ask, or a better insight to give, than your T. So you might always end up finding most of them little short of your expectations - I don't mean you are arrogant or anything, just that you are exceptionally qualified, and it is probably very easy for you to spot mistakes in your Ts.
One thing that I think that would help is, use your Ts only as a minimal guide, and do most of your therapy here in babble - where atleast there are 50 different brains, and together, we might be able to offer more than what one T could offer. Another possibility is, to switch Ts so you get different perspectives covered by different Ts. Like, do an year with a T at the most, and then switch. I found that my two Ts worked on different parts of me, and ultimately ended up covering a whole range in the end, which neither of them would have been able to do alone by themselves no matter how hard I tried. Get the cow's work done by a cow and the horse's work done by a horse :-) LOL.
