While it is possible she is scamming you different therapists have different takes on medications. I don't think it is about keeping the client longer than necessary but rather what might be in the clients best interest.

My long term T kept very updated on the medications that are out there so she could discuss with clients if appropriate. We often discussed medications because I am not great and so dis consistent with them. She wanted me to be the best possible me and felt medi actions could assist in that.

Current T and occasionally visit the topic. She believes medications have a place but it is a fine valance balance. If I are taking them to function then they are absolutely but if I want to increase in order to stop feeling (my long cycle) Then it will not help me theraputiclly to deal with the issues I am trying to work through.
