Well, I've told you before that I don't have any "major" problems of abuse and whatnot...but I'm still in therapy. Mostly for a lot of the reasons you addressed above. I ALSO feel like I don't belong there, and that I'm just wasting my time, money, his time, etc.

However, I've heard from others that you can be as therapy for as long as you want to keep coming. I know some have "termination dates," but I think it really depends on the type of T/therapy you have. I think insurance plays a big part on how many sessions you're "allowed" to attend before you're dropped. I pay out of pocket (a big some every month, even on a sliding scale) just to be there. Which means I feel that since insurance isn't an issue, I can stay as long as I want, and as long as my T doesn't get sick of me.

In your case, if your T says that you have every right to be there, wants to continue helping you, and hasn't stamped a termination date on your face, then...by all means. Believe him! If therapy is your idea of a good time, (or not, haha), then again...be there! You have as much right as anyone else, and in my opinion, there are always things in people's lives that need improving/tweaking. It's an ever ending process. It's not over until we're dead, pretty much.
Thanks for this!
