my insurance now only pays for 4 therapy sessions/year. And some therapists I've seen say "I only do short term therapy: 4-6 sessions" I saw many therapists in my life. Most were very nice people, some excellent listeners/advisors. But in the long-run, it was medication that helped me, not talking.
I think you know when it's time to stop when you feel it's time. And you can just say "I'd like next week to be our last session. I've gotten a lot out of this but feel it's time to move onward." Or words like that


I hate awkward conversations. Should I just be like hey you are not as helpful as you once were...have I received all I can from therapy..is it over?[/quote]
