In reply to long term therapy, posted by yellowbird01 on March 4, 2009, at 9:02:29

well, i dont know if i'm long term but it sure feels like it.
i've been in, man i guess 3 and 1/2 years.

but i had two T's so when i started the second T i was actually prego and only seeing her about once a month, then when i started up it was once/week. been that way since.
mostly it was catch up, with first T it was basiclly getting all the muck out. but leaving it alone. with this T i had to get stuff out, and we would talk about it abit, if i could so it was more indepth.
once most of it was out we dealt with my depression issues.

ok so you probably didn't need that intro. But now, its mostly dealing with the day to day and that does include history issues once in a while.
but there are days that i feel so good that i wonder how much longer i'll need her (of course the next week usually fixes that)

i guess what i'm saying is it may be time for a slow down. not seeing T as often and see what happens.
I think the ultimate goal is to help guide us enough to learn to deal with everything that comes up in our lives successfully on our own. if you're not at that point then make that the goal. work on what things still effect you and how, and how do you deal with those things.
Set a goal of making a balanced life, and what that entails for you.

and YEs i often feel like i overanalyze things, but that's part of my problems (lol) seriously i let things get to me too much, and i ruminate over things that i shouldn't.
i don't think therapy keeps me sick, but sometimes i wonder if it feeds into my overanalyzing everything.
but mostly, mostly i go cuz its the ONLY place that i can go to find support for me. Someone who is there JUSt to help ME. and give me good advice.
so for me, the good that comes from therapy still outweighs the disadvantages. i think when it's the other way around it's time to re-look at the situation.
