Can I ask you -- have you had experience with outgrowing a therapist? If so, how did it play out? He's the first good therapist I've ever had, so I feel kind of inexperienced.

I have not experienced outgrowing a t yet, but, there have been a few indicators recently that make me believe it is going to happen sooner than later. Sometimes it's devastating to even entertain the idea of leaving my current t while other times it's exciting because it will mean I've made a lot of progress and will start a new chapter in the healing process.

Glad you were able to discover value in the group therapy!!
