How long do you think you'll be in Therapy?

Until I learn that I can live without having a T in my life. I would like to see my T, even if it's not regularly, for the rest of my life unless circumstances prevent that. If you add up the years, it's about 15. My most recent former T I saw monthly for the last year or two. So it was 5 years plus. The others I saw for 2 or 3 years each.

I've been with current T for a year and a half, by far the longest and the only actual "therapeutic relationship" that I've developed with a t. the first 2 i saw basically sucked eggs and there was never even the beginnings of a connection with those 2. Heck, the 1st one I walked out during the 1st appointment and never went back he was so bad. I keep trying to end my therapy with current t because in a lot of ways I am ready to do so. But... I keep talking with her because I know I can still grow as a person and she really helps me to do that. I think that I am likely a therapy lifer - I can see that - taking breaks from time to time - but I highly doubt if I am honest with myself that I will ever totally NOT do therapy. I do a lot of inner work on my own as well.

It's interesting to read all the responses.

My first T I saw during my freshman year of college. At the end of the year we both left for different schools. My second T was for about 9 months or so. This T, we are coming up on 2 years. I don't know how long I will see her. I am nowhere near ready to quit. But I worry about her retiring or the clinic might say no more.
