My former T and I were in therapy for 10 years and I dearly wish I was still in therapy with her, but she got sick and she isn't well enough to come into the office anymore. The new T I am seeing made it very clear up front that it will be much more short term (though she didn't give an actual estimate so I don't know what short term means to her, weeks, months, a year?) but I also have an appointment coming up with another T to interview her to see if we are a better fit because I certainly am not ready to be done with therapy. I think therapy is for anyone whether they are well or not well. It depends if they want to see changes in their lives, or if they have something in their past that they want to overcome. Some people just need help making a few decisions and even though the therapist might not give advice, they can help clarify things. And then there are people who are not as well that like me take medication just to get to a functioning level and therapy is really useful for me to do more than just survive.
