I never found therapy addictive. Necessary, yes for a time. Something I needed with consistency for a period of time, yes. But it was never something I felt like I "had" to have or I just couldn't make it without my therapy "fix", certainly not just from one particular therapist. I could switch therapists if I had to and be just fine. I could go without therapy for periods of time, so long as I was fairly stable, and not long for my therapist or a session. Therapy was a tool, a support, for a time in my life when I needed it.
