I read that 80-90% of people in therapy quit by session 12. Is it because they are "better" or afraid to continue?

I wonder if it is because many insurance plans only pay for 10-12 outpatient mental health visits? There is pressure on mental health providers who are participating providers to do their job quickly, not to provide extended therapy. Or else they might get dropped by the plan. My husband just got new health insurance and it pays for only 12 visits a year. The description of the MH benefit says something like "the majority of our plan participants find 12 visits more than adequate." I hate that. Like not only will they not pay for more than 12, but they try to make people who need more than 12 feel abnormal. I did check with my husband's new plan, and of course, they won't cover any of my therapy visits. I hate insurance.
