I'm so fed up with therapists

Every one I go to just expects me to start spilling my guts about everything the moment we start talking. Like what, am I just supposed to pivot from nothing to talking about family trauma? I'm already putting myself in an uncomfortable position talking about these things and they don't make it any easier or make it feel natural or welcome.

Then when I do talk they don't do anything. Just sit there and listen. And when I finish talking they just don't have anything relevant to add. At most a "sounds like that was difficult". Yeah gee wonder why I brought it up. They don't add anything or have any worthwhile follow up questions/comments. They can't even pivot to something. They just sit there and expect me to start talking more after I finished saying what I wanted to say.

It would literally be more helpful to talk to a brick wall.
