really would they not? Darn!
After this therapy is "done", whenever that might be, I was sort of making plans in the back of my mind that in future, I might arrange to keep a T at hand on a permanent basis, just to have Someone On My Side, a wise counsel I could draw on when needed, you might say. The ultra rich do; why not me?
Do you think that a T would not take someone who didn't have a specific goal to work toward and then terminate?

Yes, there is supportive therapy, for people who just need to have someone who they know will be there. And T's usually say when that even if you leave, you can come back if you need to.
I know that my own T has a few people, former clients, who just come in once or twice a year to touch base with her. And I also have seen her at times when I wasn't OK to do therapy, and she changed her tone to accommodate my needs.
I think that the sort of thing you are suggesting is totally reasonable.
