I started questioning this after my meet & greet with a new therapist. I even emailed this to my ex-T.

Am I being a drain to the system? Do I need to be in therapy? Am I a danger to myself or others? Im not the way I was when I first came to therapy 6yrs ago...most definitely a danger to myself. Im taking away a time slot from someone who really needs help. I should be able to deal on my own. Is this how we decide if we need to be in therapy?

I keep thinking if I don't go what will my days look like. All I see is me dragging myself around just going through the motions hoping I will die in a car accident. So what need is met that is satisfying a part from therapy? I feel I no longer meet any criteria for a mental health disorder so what then?

I feel like I am going to waste the T's time. What is it that I actually want or expect from him?

Is it wrong to be in therapy if I am not planning on killing myself or harming others?

I can't stop watching this:

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
