I am a 36 years old man. I have been dealing with mild depression and anxiety for years (not at a level that impacts my professional life or requires medications), and also with not being able to start or maintain healthy relationships. Also I have always had communication issues with my parents. In the past, I have visited therapists only for short periods of time, and only when my depression/anxiety symptoms used to become worse. That only helped with reducing my symptoms but did not resolve the actual roots of the problems.

Around 6 months ago, I finally decided to address the roots of my issues and I started therapy 2 times per week using psychoanalysis approach. This has helped me a lot with understanding things that I was not aware of. I realized that I grew up in an enmeshed family with a controlling mom who did not give me the emotional support that I needed as a child and as a teenager, and I have been suppressing a lot of feelings like an anger towards my mom and the anxiety that I have experienced as a kid because of a sick family environment (e.g. parents being in an emotional divorce sort of relationship most of the times).

I am very happy that now I am aware of these issues and I have confronted and acknowledged all the suppressed emotions. But recently I feel my therapy sessions are not useful anymore. Same topics are repeated again and again in the sessions and I am not progressing to anywhere (I do not even know what is the next step). At the same time, therapy sessions drain all of my mental energy and I cannot do things that I would like to do like going to the gym regularly, socializing, dating, etc.

Currently I am at a point that I would like to compare the pros and cons of continuing therapy and make a decision. Could you please share your opinion about my situation? Has anyone gone through a similar procedure with relatively similar issues? What could be the possible next level steps that I should expect (after reminding and acknowledging the suppressed emotions and unhealthy patterns in family ) ?

P.S. I know about resistance and how it can make me want quit, but I am considering resistance as part of the process for which I am comparing pros and cons.
