I have been in and out of therapy since I was in 7th grade. I am 49 years old now and I haven't been in therapy for approximately 10 years. I kept reaching the point where it was no longer making any difference in my life - good, bad or otherwise and stopped.

The reason I haven't gone back this time, and the reason why I always had trouble going back before, is because I feel it to be an enormous waste of my time - and especially (specifically) MY money - to have to go all the way back to my mother's womb when I have already moved on from all of that. To be fair, I understand why therapists need to see where I've been, to see how I got to where I am, to see where I need to go, yet I. Just. Can't. Do. It. Thankyouverymuch.
