I'm also wondering about that your title says that therapy isn't helping you right now but what do you even mean by therapy helping? How do you imagine the therapy or the therapist should help you?

One thing I've learned is that therapy is almost never pleasant and it isn't even meant to be pleasant. It's meant to help you in the long term perspective and not necessarily to make you feel good or satisfied in the moment. Sure, it would be nice if it would be pleasant and if the therapist would do things exactly as I want but that's not going to help. Therapy is by design quite unpleasant, uncomfortable and humiliating experience.

Of course, you are not expressing the wish it to feel good in the moment but somehow it seems that you are equating the unpleasantness of it with not helping you?
