Once I told my T I'm disappointed in myself for still being in therapy. She said she wasn't a "10 sessions and you're out" therapist. That she chose clinical psychology for a reason, and her work with personality disorders, chronic conditions for a reason.

There's been times friends have scared me with "since you're in public health, they'll discharge you after 2 years". I know some outpatient hospital clinics in my country only offer time limited therapy so I would ask T if there's a limit on sessions, if she has to request for more sessions for me,if she's facing pressure to discharge me. T said the nature of my issues require long term therapy and that there's no max as long as I'm progressing and healing. That was a relief.
