When I started I didn't know what to expect, but I kind of figured it wasn't going to be a quick fix because I should have started years ago. There was no way I could have afforded it much before now though. My therapist thinks we'll be at this a while. He has another client (male, I think) that was also in an emotionally abusive relationship and he's been seeing him for 6 years. I don't think, at least I hope not, and I don't get that vibe, that he's milking me for money. I have a lot of stuff to unpack and a lot of damage to try to undo from my relationship.

I told him once that I had read on here where someone's therapist said most people only stay for 8 - 10 sessions (because we were on session 154 or something like that). He apparently really pays attention to this stuff because he said his clients tend to stay longer (is that a good thing or a bad thing?) and started talking about mode and median. He must track the statistics.
