I LOVE this!.... I have been with my T for quite some time now too and always wonder if I should still be there. I have a lot of attachment/relational stuff I am working on. I do think I could function without therapy but it is helping me make improvements in various aspects of my life and as long as I am here I think I will always strive to live a better life which this helps me do. I am not really sure when or if it ends and have at times felt an internal pressure to figure out and decide when the end will be. Lately, though, I have been getting used to the idea that as long as I can afford it (I'm paying out of pocket) and it is benefitting me, my life and the lives of my close family members that I will continue. I regularly try to check in and reflect on whether it is actually benefitting me or if I am there because I am attached to my therapist. Sometimes I am not as clear but most of the time I can see it's benefits. I may not be in it for life and even if I am maybe it will be less regularly as in once a month but the idea doesn't scare me as much. Lots of people who can afford it will pay yearly gym membership or hire a personal trainer for years to benefit their physical wellbeing whynot the same for emotional wellbeing.
