sidony, this is such an interesting question. Right now therapy is helping me so much, I feel like I would never want to quit. But I don't know if my T is on board with that thought, lol. I still feel I have so much healing to do and so much to learn, that I want to keep on. I do have fears my T will want to terminate before I am ready.

I was in therapy with a social worker/counselor off and on for about 9 months. I remember asking her a couple of times if she thought I should keep seeing her, because I was not feeling like I was getting a lot of benefit. She replied that I could come as long as I felt it was helpful. That didn't seem to be a strong endorsement for continuation to me, and since I was not making the progress I wanted, I quit seeing her rather abruptly. Then I had a gap of about 6 months, then started with a new therapist who I've been with for 5 months and is soooo helpful. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface, but when I look back, I see I've accomplished a lot too.
