Yeah, that comment sure wouldn't make me feel welcome at therapy. Maybe you need to check-in with your T and see where she feels like your sessions are going and where you think your sessions should be going. It sounds like maybe you two aren't on the same page at this time??? Just a thought.
I know for me, I am always worried that I've been in therapy too long. I worry that my T thinks I'm needy or whatever. I bring it up from time to time because we often start in on a session doing work and we don't really talk about where this is going. My T says there is no right or wrong with length of therapy. She says sometimes people with similar problems take very different lengths of time in therapy and it's fine. It doesn't mean the person who went through faster is better or whatever. If I were you I would just ask your T where she feels your progress is. See where it lines up with your perception of how you're progressing and then go from there. If it doesn't match up, maybe you need to see if there is someone else you can see. Good luck with this. Take your time through therapy no matter what your T says!
