I'm in the Uk and over the course of my life I've known load of people who have had therapy or are currently having it. I mean more then ten. I think it's just that people don't talk about it much.

I can think of 9 people who I know that have been in therapy, and that’s not including friends who I’ve met in treatment or working in the field, or else the number would be much higher. I only know for sure that one of those people saw someone long term. Idk about the others.

if you are asking if we know people who’ve been in
therapy for years versus short term, it’s again not something people announce and/or something hard to determine what’s long term. I’ve known my t for 5 years. I used to see her every month, then bimonthly. This year I saw her twice in February for bereavement help. I did not have time after that. She called me few times this spring asking how I am doing. Unfortunately I had another death in a family and saw her again this past week and will see her tomorrow. I likely won’t see her for at least few months after or maybe more. No my inner life doesn’t really change but I have someone to run things by especially when facing grief and I don’t have specific mental health concerns, more like life concerns that come popping up. My husband saw a therapist regularly years ago for help with Tourettes symptoms/learning strategies to manage it and OCD. It was extremely helpful. He then didn’t feel he needed it for years. His OCD flared up lately and he’s been seeing a new t about once a month. He is on meds for OCD and might need adjustment. Or maybe not. He might continue seeing this t for a long time who knows. Again who knows how many people see t for years as people might not tell it to others. My husband tells everyone everything including about therapy lol but many people would keep it a secret |

A lot. Maybe 15-20 for sure, more than that if I count people who mentioned therapy multiple times across years but who I don't specifically know were in therapy for more than a year at a time. I'm sure there are a lot of factors that go into it, both the number of people who are actually in therapy and the number who are open with me about it.
