Has anybody here been finished with therapy? Could be long term temporary finished, or permanently, or you were finished for a long time and temporarily went back, or whatever. How did you know when you accomplished "enough" in therapy? Did your t suggest finishing or did you decide? Generally people's goals change during therapy, I think, so I'm not looking for an answer as specific as checking off a list of goals. But my "goal" is getting rid of depression, and I'm not sure how I'll know when I've done enough.

It seems like my therapy is helping some and I don't know if it can help more. It doesn't seem like I should base the decision on reaching external accomplishments in life, like getting a new job or getting into another relationship, but I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like I can depend on my t's judgement for this because he has never said he thought I should be in therapy at all. (When I asked, he said he can't answer that for me.) I guess part of the reason I'm thinking about it is because it seems like he might think my issues are not very important and if I'd just stop worrying and coming to therapy, then we'd both be better off . I'm not planning to quit suddenly yet, just thinking ahead. I'm not sure about any of this, so looking for feedback. thanx
