I see mine weekly or twice a week when I'm not doing well. I get a lot out of it, even when I'm doing better. I don't get a lot of social contact so even when my mood is better we work on social skills or PTSD related things sometimes. I've been seeing this one for 9 1/2 years so we've got a pretty good pile of things to work on even if I don't have something specific that week.

I have a long history before him of only keeping therapists a few weeks. I did that with about 10 and stayed with 2, one of whom left and caused me to move to him. So when I started seeing him I had a friend promise to hold me accountable for trying 3 months of sessions. By the time 3 months rolled around it was quite clear that things were good and this was one to keep.

My prior pattern was to find things to dislike early on and then quit for reasons that might be true and might not be. (I also saw some not great people in that time).
