It is going to be ok, sometimes therapy can feel SO all-consuming, but it is SO worth all of the hard work and feeling needy and all of it. I recently wrapped up a 2 year "huge chunk of work" as my T called it at our last session, I initiated the termination conversation because I needed to take a break to well I guess assimilate everything, masticate it as she said, see what life is like w/out therapy for a change, see how the improved me handles life. I feel damn good, actually, and looking back at difficult parts of it from this side, I am SO THANKFUL my T talked me through those periods of feeling hopelessly needy and completely screwed up and insane and whatever else, my main thing I can offer is talk to your t about all of it. that is what helped me the most - I talked to my t about everything I felt about the process positive or negative. the work that I did with her and on my own between sessions wow i can honestly say it has made a HUGE difference for me. And I'm on a long break now, with the knowledge that no I'm not "done" may never BE "done", but will be moving on to a new T when I'm ready to start up again. Best wishes.
