Lots of transformation over the past 10 years with the same therapist. Now for me it is mostly relationship oriented, but I don't think that will last forever. But the ongoing "treatment" is self care for me, making sure I'm dealing with the vicarious trauma from my work with traumatized people.
I also use therapy for dealing with work stress. In the beginning I was getting triggered a lot by clients' pasts it was a weekly check in question. The last couple of years I get triggered a lot less but on occasion it happens and we process it.
