My three-times weekly Horneyan (Karen Horney) analysis made me literally nuts, though my therapist was respectful and largely sensible except believing in the magic of analysis. I became delusional examining my life that much, a state I can best describe as meditation psychosis. (Some people call is a spiritual emergency.) I lost valuable friends and opportunities.

Though every experience is different, I think it important to be aware consumers. If therapy does more harm than good, if it become a weight rather than a support, it's time to leave.
