I guess I can only refer to my own experience with therapy----that stage of endless pain and neediness does get "sated" at some point. Usually, though, I've needed T to meet me halfway in a caring gesture to finally feel like old needs were being met just enough to continue the painful process.

Hang in there!!! If it drags on over a year like this it may be a bad T fit. But it's probably just too early to know.
