I know there are many different reasons we are in therapy and many different types of therapies/therapists. Some therapists seem to want goals and one of those goals is probably an end to the therapy one day. But some people seem to need ongoing support or at least the promise/offer of possibly going back indefinitely. I see nothing wrong with either scenario, but I am wondering if one is more common than the other?

Some of us have insurance to consider. Most insurances (MOST) won't pay for therapy indefinitely and therapy is expensive. It might not be something many people can fit into their budget forever. I think private pay is ideal, but it isn't realistic for many.

For me I am not sure if I have goals or where/when/how I see therapy ending. It's totally different from the first therapy I went through.

Do you think about the end of therapy? Do you think you might need support indefinitely? I am not saying either is wrong or right and there might even be other situations I am not thinking of.
