skysblue, I have the same concerns that you do. "Is my therapy just an expensive self-indulgent activity?" I wonder that too. I always said I was addicted to therapy, and that may be my worst problem. I spent an awfully lot on therapy for 15 years. My H thinks I go just because my T makes me feel good. He's partially right, but needing her so much is only temporary, I hope.

I don't see what's wrong with being in therapy as long as your T doesn't replace real life people. We pay a lot for an education, and I consider therapy an education. The curriculum is ME. If it helps to talk to a T regularly even though our problems are not serious, what could be the harm in doing so? IF, I repeat, if therapy doesn't become our whole life.
