I just recently quit my t of 11 years. I don't think I'll back. It was because our dynamic wasn't healthy. I had intense transference and was extremely needy. But we weren't using this to help me. Instead she was just getting angry and resentful of me. The more she got hostile with me the more desperately I tried to win her affection. It was very unhealthy.

I don't think I would have been strong enough to do it if I hadn't started seeing a new cbt t for my extreme social anxiety. I had a backup in place although t2 and I have never discussed t1.
