Should I continue therapy?!
Question: Should I continue therapy!?
I've been seeing a therapist since march, once a week!. I've become really attached to her but I feel as if I'm not getting better!. Sometimes it's enough for me to just sit with her without saying anything!. She's really nice about it!. She's going to be leaving soon and she offered me the choice of continuing my sessions with her at the new place she is going!. I went to therapy specifically because I have attachment problems!. I don't know what to do or what to say!. I wanna continue seeing her because she makes me feel safe and I can cry and talk to her about things with complete trust!. I can't imagine starting over again with someone new!. At times I get so depressed I just stay in the pain until it hurts to the core!. It has become addictive for me!. Sometimes I feel like I'm really not trying to get better!. I don't even know if I want that!. Please help me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With anyone seeking treatment, there's an underlying cause to seek treatment, such as you described" attachement"!. I suggest you continue treatment, since she has offered it and the fact you are comfortable with her!. Ask her about setting goals and ask yourself to attempt to be more involved in your therapy!. Ask yourself questions, when your with her, see if you ,yourself know the cause of the probelm and moved forward if it's her recommendation, that you and her together can find some good answers and start a regeime that will improve your situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I believe you should quit, but not cold turkey!. Try going to every other week, and then maybe once a month, and then not at all!. This will be a big step in helping you to get over your attachment problem!. If you quit, you're telling yourself "I'm capable of letting go"!. This is the first step in overcoming your problem!. And don't listen to rift3r!. Suicide is NOT the answer!. Don't devalue your life like that, or play God with yourself!. But talk to your therapist!. I hope this helps youWww@Answer-Health@Com

I completely understand how you feel; just because you go to a new person doesn't mean it's the same relationship you had with the previous person!. I'm like that with someone right now actually so I completely understand!.
Anyways, you have to know whether you want therapy or not!. If you're just going to see that person, and not actually getting any better, it's sorta a waste of peoples time and money!. Do you understand, and I don't mean that with any offense at all!. I do understand how you like to see her and everything and how you learned to trust her and you don't want to start over, but you should be getting better from going to therapy!. And if you're not, you either need to get a different therapist or get on meds or something!.
But in the end, the whole decision is what you want; do you want to go to therapy anymore even though you're not really getting any better!? Is it worth it just to see this person!? I have the same issues actually right now, so if you'd email I think we could be helpful to each other!. My email is elysehewitt88@gmail!.com and if you have AIM, add me!. EmoChick152107, thanks!. Best of luck in your decision!.
