Toughie.
Have you looked into different types of therapy? I spent years in "talk therapy" - I don't know what the official name is for it.
One option might be to take a break from this therapist, do a round with a short-term approach therapist, and then go back to your regular talk therapist. Family Systems therapists, around here anyway, tend to see patients 3-5 times, once a month, and then they've done their job. It's intense. Lots of homework. (Letter writing and other assigments.) I can look up links if you like.
A good career coach might also be worth a round during a vacation from your regular therapist. Costs about the same, and it could be that some of your "issues" that seem to be interfering with your job, might actually be diminished in a job that better suits your soul. I don't mean fundraising for United Way or working for a non-profit. Just a better environment in your industry or a similar one.
