I know you're right. I'm often frustrated with his contentment with the status quo. I'm frustrated that he has no desire to expand his knowledge base to help me any. I'm frustrated with his limitations as a therapist. He doesn't seem to feel there is any pressing reason for me to improve in any way.
Maybe that's part of why I go to adjunct therapists at time. I can't see a second therapist without a reason, because he wouldn't accept my having two therapists. But he is ok with my having an adjunct therapist.
The problem is that I'm just not a nice person. I don't like any of the adjunct therapists. At all. I've seen a number of them, and while I didn't dislike them all equally, I did dislike them all.
If I found one I liked, I might possibly be willing to see my therapist once a week and the adjunct therapist once a week. But I doubt I'll like any of them.
Apart from all else, my therapist is special if only in the fact that I can tolerate being with him for longer than a session or two.
