I would say a total of 3 years or so. I've had several therapists in the past, only two of which I've really connected with. For me, it's been hard to stay consistent in therapy because I am also a mental health professional and I feel like sometimes I "know" what to do and just need to do it on my own. I've also gone on and off medications in the past for the same reason, and also doubting my diagnoses. I would say that therapy has been greatly helpful and I've learned a lot through it.
