Therapy

Shardovan

Just wondering who here is willing to say if they see a therapist/counsellor and if so, how long have they been doing so for? And how long are they likely to continue doing so? Something that was just said to me made me wonder am I being pathetic in being more than a year in to weekly sessions and feeling like several more months  at least feel needed.

  • Hey Shardovan, 

    Are you still around on this forum? I've been wondering how you and others who used to be here more a couple of years ago were doing. 

    The moment may have passed by now, but as this thread is still going it feels important to say I don't think it's pathetic. Some people see the same therapist for years. I've been seeing mine for two years now. It's also some of the work I'm most drawn to, really building those deep relationships that can be so healing - which can take time. The kind of messaging that you experienced can be really powerful though. I hope you've come to a more comfortable place with this now. Always happy to chat further.
