In reply to long term therapy, posted by yellowbird01 on March 4, 2009, at 9:02:29
Hi Yellowbird,
I've been in therapy for 6 1/2 years. My T is my first one so I don't have any experience with short term therapy. T told me in the last session that I am being less negative about myself so I guess eliminating all self hatred/negativity towards myself would be the ultimate goal.
I don't think therapy keeps me sick, it has helped me through depression and some day when I am ready the bad childhood stuff. I don't think all that ails me could have been dealt with short term. As always I am amazed my T puts up with me, she isn't in it for the money that's for sure.
