A member asked:

I'm considering quitting therapy for molestation as a child. is this wise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Therapy does not have to be life long. If you feel you have accomplished your goals in therapy, i would discuss stopping treatment with your therapist. The two of you can develop a plan for relapse.
