I've been talking with a therapist for a few months. I tried ending the sessions a months ago, because she just wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know, and rather than helping me, her lack of experience made matters worse.
She has often seemed surprised when I know something she thought would be "enlightening" to me, or had "insight" about various things she claims most patients have difficulty realizing.
The last time I tried to end sessions, she kept offering that I stay in contact with her occasionally, so to avoid hurting her feelings I did so. Now I'm just ready to move on. I see know advantage of our sessions, and her lack of experience is holding me back, and interfering with progress I've made on my own. How can I tell her I'm moving on to try other alternatives, without offending or hurting her feelings? If I don't do this now, eventually it's going to come out with little tact and raw truth which I'm trying to avoid.
