How you know it’s time to stop therapy

Karim Benali
Counsellor · integrative

Therapy is meant to end. Knowing when is part of the work.

Good signs

The things you came for happen less, and you deal with them when they do. Sessions feel more like check-ins than work. You have started to say the things your therapist would say.

Most people space sessions out before they stop. A last session to plan for setbacks is worth booking.
