I meant out the pattern as in not in therapy anymore.

Ahh I see. Yeah I can agree with the practice being a ***** sketchy.. Pay someone, in my instance, for an hour of their time every fortnight, to gain what exactly? I always leave feeling like rubbish, back out on my own, still surrounded by every problem that I went in there with. I view the process negatively, but at the same time, I'm not ready to give my T up. It is the only space for me where there is someone who knows and sees a little more than the rest of the world. And while I don't share a lot with her, it is somewhat comforting to have her there.. Comforting but extremely depressing.
