Such an interesting question. I've been with my current therapist for 11 weekly sessions now. Prior to this, I had 5 weekly sessions with a terrible previous therapist who abruptly dumped all his clients. So I don't have a ton of experience with therapy overall. I know that it will take a long time to resolve all my feelings regarding my childhood abuse that I'm dealing with now, decades later. I'm fortunate my insurance covers my sessions at 100% with no limit, so I'm no particular rush. But I *probably* couldn't see myself being in therapy much longer than a year. But I don't know, I feel like the longer I dig, the more issues come up.
