Paying for therapy for 3 years

Therapist says they're not my support system, I feel like I'm talking to a professional who doesn't understand me

What I wish I knew
"Therapy might not provide the emotional support I need"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't expect therapy to be a transformative experience if you're looking for emotional support"
