How to navigate disagreement about therapy effectiveness with your partner

My partner and I have been going to couples therapy for eight months and we can't agree on whether our therapist is actually helping us or just validating our existing patterns. I think we need someone more direct and challenging, they think I just don't want to do the emotional work, and we're spending $200 a week to have the same circular conversations we have at home.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trapped in a helping relationship that may be reinforcing the very dynamics they sought help to change.
