Sometimes when you have a limited number of sessions to see someone, it can be helpful to pick a very narrow issue or behavior and work just on that. That can be worth the investment, and it gives you something to keep working on when your funds run out or when therapy ends for whatever reason.

It's really hard to go into therapy with the idea that you will eventually be "fixed". So many of us have complicated issues and behaviors. Gosh, I've been in therapy for two years (I'm lucky that I can go through my school), and there are still issues I come up with to talk about.

Sometimes it can help to consider therapy a life long process that you enter at different times in your life as part of your overall growth.

At any rate, I hope if you decide to go that you find it worth it.

Take care,
