Where's the line between my symptoms and character?
I've been in therapy for a year. I have trouble deciding whether something needs to be fixed or just accepted as who I am? Where do I draw the line? How can I know whether some parts of me is a symptom or not? My therapist says we are trying to understand me but is it realistic to know oneself?
It also feels like I could go to therapy for years because I never run out of things to talk. My therapist’s approach is psychodynamic. Sometimes I feel like it lacks structure. However, I am also getting better so I am afraid to quit. How can I know for sure that it is the right time to stop the sessions?
