If we like them and when it is geographically possible, we keep our doctors, our dentists, etc. for a lifetime, going back to them when we need them. There isn't anything odd about that at all. Why not the same with our mental health care? My husband has gone once a week to his chiropractor for the past 7 years -- it keeps his back stable and prevents problems. I'm pretty sure they've never had conversations about terminating. I think it's an appropriate analogy so that we can either go back to our therapists for "tune-ups" or keep going for maintenance. It doesn't mean we are unstable to think that way.
