My therapist did 4 days a week of analysis for 5 years too. It's required for their psychoanalytic training and is a large part of the training contributing to their competence. (As I side note, it makes me wonder if I will need 20 years of this therapy at my frequency of 1 x week. 🤔 )
He didn't tell why he became a therapist but he has told me that this is his chosen profession and that he loves the work.
