I appreciate your honest question about a very common issue in the world of therapy. Do understand that I am answering this from the point of view of a hypnostist/NLP practitioner who learned many years ago that many things that look like emotional issues are physiological and vise versa. So, my short answer to you is to get some testing done to see if you are metabolizing the nutrients that you require to form the dopamine, serotonin, gaba, etc that your brain needs to be emotionally stable and mental clear – because without that ability, one will never feel good about life – it’s physiology – not psychology.
I found this out working with a client of mine who was told by some ignorant therapist she had many years before she met me, that she would have to take antidepressants for the rest of her life. This news really bummed her out. Well, it was a long journey, but what we found after she saw my compounding pharmacist who sent her to an integrative doc, was that she had leaky gut and heavy metal toxicity (due to her job).
If you are in mid-life your hormones may be unbalanced and the same is true if you are overly stressed as many are these days. So, this is another thing to get checked out – cortisol levels – all of these are done through saliva to be done correctly, not blood as the conventional docs tend to do.
So, please do not pay attention to people who are assuming that you are not doing your part in the therapy, because it may very well be that it has nothing to do with mental-emotional anything and everything to do with metabolism and hormones.
If you do have emotional issues that you feel are causing the issues, find yourself a person who can help you with the unconscious content that may be in your way – that would be a person trained in that specialization, a hypnotist with NLP training.

However, I would suggest that you rule out physiological issues before you do anything else. Once that is done, then you can figure out what to do next.
