How do you know when you are done with therapy?

I’ve been in thearpy since early May. I no longer have the anxiety attacks, or the constant inner dialogue (diatribe?) about my lack of self worth. So how do I know I’m done. I don’t want to say. ‘I’m done’ and then the doc goes ‘Nope, you are still nuts’. Is this some sort of zen type thing and that I’ll be done with therapy when I know it?

So how did you know you were done with therapy?

When you start being overwhelmed by how much it is costing you, you might be near the finish line.

When I felt well enough and felt that I had addressed the issues that brought me to therapy I told my therapist that I didn’t think I was really getting anything out of it anymore. We planned a wrap-up session to tie up any loose ends and then agreed that I’d give her a call lin 6 months to see how things are going. It worked well.
