I've been in therapy for decades now (I'm 56), & still go to one 1-2 times a month. I think I've learned the bulk of my B.S., I also learned I was bipolar. Since my moods tend to cycle, despite a pdoc's assistance, what's the point of therapy. I'm in a depressive episode, so moved my appointment up a week, to tomorrow. For some reason it helps to have a voice of reason when I'm depressed. I think, however, it might be possible to become too dependent on a therapist. I've been with mine for seven years, so I wonder if this contributes to my questioning things. "Does therapy help with funky moods?" Yes. "Shouldn't you have this shite down pat by now?" Dunno.
