The "over and over" part doesn't sound healthy to me. It makes me think of addiction. Someone who becomes dependent and addicted starts needing more and more of their fix to be satisfied. Until the whole thing becomes unsustainable when their need exhausts the supply.

I know that some people really do well with life-long supportive therapy. But most patients are looking to be "healed"--which would necessitate an end point in their therapy. So it seems to me a therapist who always "saves" a client is not really helping them reach their long-term goals.
