I'll not bore you with the details, but I've had a lot of therapy in the course of my life focused upon specific issues. Now, I'm at a point in my life at which said issues are far in my past. However, I still benefit from having a therapist. I've been doing some thinking over the past few weeks about new personal challenges or new things I could work on in therapy just for the purpose of growing and becoming a better person. The trouble is, I can't come up with anything specific that I could work on. I know there is something, because no one is perfect--I'm just having trouble thinking of new challenges that could benefit me. Does anyone have a good generic suggestion (or suggestions) for things to work on in therapy once a person is past/recovered from the initial issues? Or suggestions for reading material which could help me discover new ways in which I can grow personally? I know this is a very broad question--I am open to all suggestions. Thanks.
Just wanted to clarify something: I am not afraid of the possibility of stopping therapy. I am not afraid of falling back into old issues. I am not looking for new problems, issues, or depressing things to say. What I am seeking is a new challenge. I personally believe that therapy is not just for fixing problems--I believe that since I have worked so hard toward healing myself, it is now time to work on becoming a better, more effective person just for the sake of learning and growing. This has nothing to do with running out of depressing things to say, or feeling afraid to let go of therapy. Having that said, I look forward to hearing your feedback.
