One time I commented to T that we had been seeing each other 2 years now (or some number of years). And he said, "Really? Has it been 2 years? It still feels fresh." I took "fresh" to be a good thing and also thought his comment also meant that sometimes therapy can feel stale. With us it hadn't yet, but maybe it is a cycle that therapy goes through, and after a while it ceases to be fresh anymore. Maybe that is a sign therapy is winding down. I don't know. I haven't thought of that comment of T's for quite a while. Should one not continue if therapy is stale?
