Feeling stuck despite therapy, not sure how to move forward

As-salamu alaykum. Honestly, therapy just hasn’t been working for me. At most, it helps me keep my head above water, but my therapist finally pointed out that I’ve been struggling with the same problems for a year and a half without any real progress. It hasn’t fixed my difficult family situation, my loneliness, the lack of good Muslim friends who actually support me, my money troubles, or my own refusal to face where I’m going wrong. I know I’m not living up to what I should be, maybe even acting like a failure, but my therapist never tells me straight up or helps me figure out exactly what to change.

Bro, therapy is a tool, not a magic fix. You gotta do the inner work yourself. Start with salah and sincere dua-sometimes the heart only heals when it's connected to Allah.

Brother, sometimes the problem is we avoid accountability. Ask Allah to show you your flaws and give you strength to change. Therapy can't replace tawbah and self-honesty.
