When I started therapy I had no expectations because I had no idea what should happen in therapy and how should it happen. The only thing I knew for sure (intuitively) was that I should stay away from therapists who want to spell out concrete goals and work towards those goals because I knew that any of the goal I could spell out at that moment would be inaccurate and irrelevant. But what my true goals could be I had no idea and thus I needed someone who understood this and who was willing to search for those goals over time.

We hit a 5 year mark with my T soon and I expect to see him until he retires in 4-5 years. Whether I'm done by then or need to continue with someone else I currently don't know.
