I have a pdoc, but haven't had a therapist in years. I would go back if absolutely needed, but my pdoc supports me. I cry with my pdoc every time I talk about anything on an emotional level. It is a given that I am going to cry even though I don't do it regularly outside of therapy. It use to embarrass me, but I am actually a sensitive person who feels things deeply. I have learned to accept this about myself, rather than try to change the very nature of who I am. It is not an issue, so I don't make it one. Other than making sure there is a box of tissues in the room, we are too busy concentrating on the subject at hand to notice my tears.

I strongly believe that you will know when you no longer need therapy. There isn't a right or wrong about it. I was once criticized by a doctor because I had been in therapy for ten years. She told me that I just wanted a mommy. I laugh now, years later. If it is growthful, keep doing it, and if it no longer moves you forward, let it go.
