Hi Sunny! I've had those moments when I think that I am 'fine' and probably don't need to go every week.

Usually I find that I am avoiding something when I think this way. I am speaking for myself here.

I think therapy ends when we can have better relationships, handle anxiety and stress much better and solve our own issues (based on our T's guidance that we internalize). There isn't a bell like Pink's T's said. It probably has more to do with the quality of our life and the place we are in.

I also think that is different for each one of us. I agree with you that hearing 'what else are you needing' would be a bit show stopping. But like you said your T has a different style as all of our T's do.

Maybe he knows that you have trouble talking about what you 'need' from people and so he has incorporated that little phrase into your treatment?
