My first therapist was CBT, and when I told her that I thought I needed to go "deeper" she said that she didn't do that. But I insisted, and she tried, but she didn't do it well at all. I stayed with her because I "needed" her. Eventually it all fell apart (mostly because she couldn't give me what I needed). She kept trying to tell me that she had taught me all that she knew, but I couldn't go to someone else.
Eventually I did change therapists (to a psychodynamic one). What a difference. We had recreated the transference problem AND resolved it within 8 weeks. Of course, there were (and are) many more to go, but I was amazed at how quickly this therapist could get to the issues and how easily he could help me work through them.
I encourage you to ask your therapist what kind of therapy might be more helpful for you.
Good luck.
