...See more I'm really sorry if this isn't really appropriate to put here or if there's a different place to ask this sort of thing, but this was one of the only places where I thought I could ask this question and not be judged and get some actual help. My husband deals with depression and has been seeing a therapist ever since he's been in high school, if not earlier than that. We married young, so he's been in therapy for a good 5-7 years. I know that he says it helps him, but I have concerns. I was kinda under the impression that therapy isn't supposed to last forever. That it's supposed to help you handle your emotions yourself and give you the "tools" necessary to cope on your own. I wonder if he doesn't see it that way. He says he would rather talk out his problems with a therapist, who that's their job to listen, rather than me so that he doesn't make me feel down. Or that because I'm not a therapist then I can only do so much. I agree to some degree. I know that this subject may be sensitive and I don't want to come off as rude or anything like that. I just wonder when (or if) there is an end to therapy.
