Yes, that is sometimes a long term outcome but it is also true that psychodynamic therapy can make you worse, and worse and not resolve.
That was my experience. I had been telling myself, "well, the only way out is through, and I just need to stick it out."

That's how I was raised. But in this particular case, I had to cut my losses and move on. Not all therapy is helpful. The match between the therapist and the client and also the KIND of therapy and the client are both critical.
