My Support Forums - View Single Post - Poll: How Much Longer Will You Be in Therapy?

I have my final visa to stay in the UK upcoming in November this year. That's always insanely stressful, and I want to have someone to help me manage the anxiety.

Possible trigger:

I'm also now having trouble conceiving, after suffering a miscarriage in late 2016. This will be a tough year of finding out we can't conceive, assisted conception, pregnancy or another miscarriage, so I want my therapist here for me this year. The miscarriage is what brought me into therapy this summer, so it's doubly important I have support during this time. I was finally referred this week to the infertility clinic

I'm hoping those issues/events and my feelings around them are both (mostly) resolved by Christmas this year.

I'm not sure I could justify staying in therapy after that, especially as I pay out of pocket. If I did stay, I'd want to make sure my therapist is happy to keep a client longterm who is more interested in self improvement than solving serious problems.
