We have not. Honestly, I’ve been afraid to have that conversation, although I should. When I started therapy I was really paranoid in the beginning that I was limited to a certain timeframe or a certain number of months, even though my therapist said nothing to incidate as such. My therapist has said multiple times it can take a really long time with someone with my trauma background to resolve things. I have told him I’m not going anywhere and not in a hurry to wrap things up anytime soon, which seems to be fine.

It’s funny—I’m hitting the 6 month mark with my therapist and I always thought I couldn’t see myself in therapy longer than 6 months. Now I’m at a point where I feel like I’m just getting started and finally learning to trust and be vulnerable. So I don’t know how long I’ll be here, but I’m ok with that. I’m also stupidedly lucky to have insurance that covers my sessions 100% with no limits, so I feel grateful not limited by finances.
