I've given it some time, like 6 months and i'm just not sure about my therapist. Maybe that alone is enough to tell myself YES, i do need a new one but I just want to make sure I'm not being overly picky or avoidant.

I have a few issues with her; She knits during our sessions and because of that she is almost always looking down and putting her attention to her knitting project, although she still listens and replies– it kinda pisses me off that during my one hour her attention is split between me and a hobby. Plus her hands are busy so she take zero notes and doesn't ever remember shit about me.

It's nice to talk to someone about life but it really feels like I'm just telling her what's wrong with me and all the fucked up things that have happened to me while she offers little to no real insight or tools to actually change anything. The tools and insight she rarely does offer are just common sense and entirely unhelpful. I'm not sure if that's because I'm very self aware/emotionally intelligent or if she just sucks at her job.

Lastly, our relationship feels very doctor/patient. I don't want to be her best friend but we sincerely don't click on any sort of personal level and because of that it just feels very dry cut and overly professional feeling while I'm trying to express deeply personal shit. I don't feel like myself, I talk to her how I would in like a professional environment. It would be nice if we had some sort of bond.

I can't tell how much of this is just how therapy is? Do i have too high expectations?
