I've been seeing my T for over 10 years now (EAK) and I was pretty open with her from the start. Obviously with long term therapy, objectives change, and I feel like I'm able to be way more honest with her about really deep stuff in the last year. At no point have I felt like I'm wasting her time.
I do sometimes wonder if I'm wasting my psychiatrists time - she's the clinical director of an intensive in-patient unit at a major psych hospital and sees very few outpatients. I used to wonder if I was sick enough to need her care, until I went inpatient last summer, and since then I've grown to accept that my care is sufficiently complicated to need someone with her expertise.
