I don't agree that therapy isn't for life. I've been going to the same place for 14 straight years and I am still benefitting. Bipolar is lifelong. Therapy makes it more managealbe. So why would I not do therapy as long as I can? Maybe I'll feel different when my therapist retires but for now I don't see myself not in therapy. My pdoc requires it actually I think so as long as I see her I'll be there for sure.
