I totally see what you're asking but don't have a good answer. I see my T. weekly for issues related to my emotionally distanced mom's death this year. I see myself spacing out the sessions to monthly but I'm not sure I'll ever stop going. It's too beneficial for the stage of life I'm in. I have good friends with whom I've discussed my transference but I already know which ones get tired of hearing about it and which ones don't mind to keep listening.
I'll be curious to see the other replies.
