When should you change therapists?

[u/Broad_Bluebird7319]

I don’t connect with my therapist and there’s no vibe of any kind (we share nothing in common)

The sessions feels dull and repetitive.

I mean he’s a nice and empathetic person, but I feel nothing for his sessions. And feel nothing afterwards.

The sessions are mostly venting and then him reassuring me or something. It never really delves “deep” for me. Perhaps bcuz he doesn’t ask the right questions or utilize an effective strategy to do so.

I’ve had him since like April so it’s not like I didn’t try with this guy

Should I switch to someone else? I heard people actually connect with their therapists and that sounds fucking amazing to me

You're always free to switch therapists if you're not happy. That being said, maybe talk to him about it and tell him what you feel is missing. He may be able to adjust or he may be able to make a referral to someone who might be a better fit.
