i was in therapy for a total of 7 years (one year with T1 and six years with T2) and ended about 18 months ago. it was not because i was done talking about me and my issues and definitely not because i was done healing, but because i felt i was
done talking about my issues and working on my healing with the 'guidance' of a T. i felt confident that i no longer needed to try and sustain that kind of 'relationship' in my life to help me move forward in my healing to live a fulfilling life. since ending therapy, i actually have continued to make a lot of progress on my own, especially by pursuing different means and opportunities that talk therapy or the therapeutic relationship could never truely provide for me. plus, an added bonus is i have been able to save heaps of money to do more of the things i enjoy since i'm no longer paying large out of pocket sums of money each week to fund my ex-T's career and livelihood
