I pretty much stayed in mostly ineffective therapy for 4 years too long (after 5 years i finally quit). We got along fine, but I still couldn't get past the fear that she was judging me (and never could actually talk about it with her), so we never went very far--just circled around and around the issue.

Now that I am in therapy that is very different and much more helpful, I am amazed and sad that I stayed in that therapy too long.
