It seems like everyone has a different take on when and how long they expect to be in therapy.
I guess since i'm still young ( early twenties) and have only been in therapy for a little over a year, being in therapy forever seems like such a long time
eek:
My T was in her own therapy for 10 years and then decided that she wanted to become a T. She is still going to group therapy and individual maintence therapy from time to time. So really, she has been in therapy for over 18 years.
Stumpy))) I agree. I have had a lot of traumatizing physical and emotional abuse as well as severe abandonment issues. I have a lot of painful issues to work on and redo with T.
I don't think that we'll be in therapy forever because no one lives forever. I do however think that extended therapy ( whether you need it or not) is a personal choice. Who knows, maybe ten years from now i'll be whole and healed or maybe just getting into the deep stuff. I guess i'll just have to see
