I worry about this too. I have been going for many many many years thankfully with the same T and I've learned a lot but I can never picture myself ending therapy.
I can't see the day where I'll run out of issues to deal with. I can't see the day where I have fully "internalized" my T--I need a warm body to go with that advice, not just an echo in my head!
My T does not let me talk about "someday" ("I don't plan on retiring") or what-if (I'm healthier than you are what makes you think I'll die first? ...Umm, I'm a female who is 20 yrs younger, chances are in my favor) He thinks it would be encouraging past feelings of abandonment and loss unnecessarily and just feeds my fears.
Can't wait to see what others say on this-good topic!
