10 years with the same therapist. Never thought it would last that long but then life happened and I find I need perspective. In the past 10 years I have lost my mom and both in-laws, discovered that I am bipolar, and became an empty nester. That's on top of some really intense self-loathing. No end in sight for me. I am comforted knowing that others are tied to a therapist who helps them be the best version of one's self.
