Yes, I understand what you mean and appreciate the example, I would also call this addiction to therapy because harm is being done. Therapy is not supposed to cause harm or interfere with the rest of one's life. I'm sorry this has been your experience and it absolutely isn't something to be ashamed about. I hope you are able to move forward in a positive way.
