How does a person know when a person has reached the end of her relationship with her therapist? I am wondering if each therapist is able to help a person progress so far then it becomes time to find a new one who can deal with the things the first one doesn't seem able to touch.

Is your T still helpful to you? If you are progressing and you feel good about therapy, then I don't think I would change it. But if you feel like your T isn't helping you anymore, then maybe it is time to either quit or find somebody else.

Are there things that your T doesn't want to deal with? Is this because he is uncomfortable, or doesn't think it would help you to go there? I thought about looking for another T when there was something that I wanted to talk about but was afraid to say it to my T (just because it was something I didn't want him to know and didn't want to talk about it with someone in real life). What I wound up doing though was talking about it with someone here on this site, and that turned out to be enough. Sometimes all you need is a friend.
