I think that you’ve hit the nail on the head. I guess it is like an addiction. I’ve never seen it that way. I have also seen my therapist for about the same amount of time and took a 6 month break. I’m in a break now and I’m not going back. I talked to her but I couldn’t speak my inner thoughts. The time is not enough for me to unleash. Then after she double booked me last that just left a bad taste in my mouth. We have a long history. I think the double booking was my last slap in the face. I took that and ran the other way. I had to think that I was paying someone to hear me talk. She didn’t always validate what I said. It can be an expensive relationship. If I’m paying that much then It better be fantastic.

However there are people that need that and it’s their only way to cope. I guess it all depends on who you are and what your situation is. After 5 years I have pretty high expectations and it’s true I expect a little more “commitment” to our work. It’s an odd relationship. Throughout all of my breaks I’ve never gone to termination session. I told her that it was the most ridiculous thing for Me to do. I’m not going to pay her $90 to tell her that I’m not coming back and hear her two cents. I could just send a her a text telling her I’m not going for free. Again some people might need that closure.
Thanks for this!
