Several years. Around 155 sessions.

I never went weekly consistently frequency of therapy varied (hence calculating by session number), given constraints of public healthcare and my job.

When my T went into private practice (with a sliding scale) she took a lot of her public healthcare clients with her. Including me.

Yeah, it's been worthwhile for me because when I was eventually diagnosed with DID recently, I already had a solid therapeutic alliance with my T.

And I do respect that therapy isn't for everyone, and there are a lot of harmful therapists.
Thanks for this!
