I had a t once tell me that some people know when they are done. And others, while the storm has passed so to speak, still remain in therapy (sometimes indefinitely) because it gives them structure and allows them an outlet for whatever comes up in life. For some, therapy is essential. They don't necessarily have to have something pressing to talk about each week. But it gives them comfort knowing that there is someone there to talk to regardless. I know that some people and some therapists would frown upon that sort of therapeutic relationship. But I think for other people, it might be right. I think it's a decision that each individual has to make for themselves with their therapist. I would talk to your t. You may find that you want to stop therapy and see how it goes. You can always come back or see someone else.
