My t encouraged me to take a break or stop therapy, and I am doing one of those two now (we left it open as to which). He encourages that every time I question if therapy is working. He suggests, implicitly, that maybe my issues aren't very serious and I don't need therapy. Then he also points out some things he thinks I have trouble with. He just doesn't know any better than I do, I suppose, whether it's worth the effort to work on that stuff or whether he can help. atm, I think I'm doing a little better than before I started my string of therapists about two years ago, but it's hard to tell whether that's due to other life circumstances, or whether it will last. The first few days after I stopped I was not doing well - thoughts of sui, trouble getting out of bed, etc.

Anyway, if I go back, I suppose I should stop talking about whether therapy is working since it doesn't get me anywhere. I read about t's helping other people when they talk about that, but that's sure not what happens with me.
Thanks for this!
