I have been with my current T for nearly 8 years. About a year ago, I asked him if this is as good as it gets. Some things had improved, but some hadn't. I was (am) still anxious much of the time. I function pretty well in my daily life, but I rarely feel at ease and am often downright miserable. He said he thinks there is a 70% chance that things can still improve for me.

I will say that my therapy has never been linear. Growth has often come in bits and spurts with long periods in between. I feel like we are currently plateaued or perhaps stuck, but some of the most significant growth for me came in years 6 and 7 with him, so I'm hanging in there. But if I still feel stuck in another 6 months, then it's probably time for the conversation about what might need to change.
