Sunny, have you ever spoken with your T about this?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Hi pink, yes, well he spoke to me about it in one of our first sessions, over a year ago. He told me he does not do longterm therapy, which he considers anything over 3 years. It seems like he was being upfront with a new client and clearly laying out his boundaries. But now he has told me he sees a client he has known for 15 years. 15 years of therapy? (Or maybe he knew the guy for 12 years first outside of therapy and has only seen him as a client for 3 years?) And this guy comes for regular tune-ups. So now I have hope I could see T for longer then 3 years. I like your analogy of being able to see the T occasionally as "insurance." I would like that someday too.

He believe that there doesn't necessarily have to be something "wrong" with you in order to keep coming to therapy.

ECHOES, you always find the best pictures.

My former therapist, a psychologist who did hypnotherapy, talked about her clients leavning and then coming back when they needed to. It sounded pretty open-ended.

Will you ask him about this, do you think?

For example, I had a major rupture with my lawyer the last week, and almost lost her. We need to deal with issues like that, not to mention the family issues right now surrounding the separation, and the financial issues too. As I said in another thread, I long for the simpler days of therapy when we could talk about stuff like this. Maybe one day we will be there again.
