Yes, those comments on that thread were disheartening, but I don't think they are the general opinion, just the louder opinion.

Personally, I think part of the psychotherapy experience/process is discussing life after therapy, life without therapy. How to transition, how to manage, how to deal with the change and, for many, the real loss.

That aspect doesn't get discussed here much in a a very proactive way. (And it seems to not come up much within therapy either for many people which is a shortcoming really). It only tends to come up when suddenly someone has found themselves in the position of having to be without therapy. Hopefully this thread can be a start of having a reasonable, helpful discussion about life after therapy -- for whatever the reason one is without.
