I think it is partly up to your therapist to help you end therapy if you are going simply because you have become too dependent.

It took awhile for me to realize that I needed friends more than a therapist and I had to really focus on making friends and putting myself out there. I never would have been able to do that without my T. However, I could have stayed in weekly therapy until the end of time. For me, it was starting to feel too self-indulgent and it felt like I was taking advantage.

My T is always with me in my head so I don't need to see him as much. It is very comforting.
