It's funny you should want intellectual engagement from a therapist, because this is exactly what most therapists do not encourage. The point of therapy is to learn to express and feel emotions, including emotions toward the therapist. When I first started therapy, I asked my p-doc if he could recommend a book I could read to help me understand the process and he said, "you can't really. It's an emotional process and unfolds differently for everyone. You can't control it intellectually."
