It might be too early to stop if:

• You’re still avoiding key areas of your life (relationships, work, emotions).
• Your mood is still very low or unstable.
• You’ve had recent setbacks (relapse, big life change).
• You feel dependent on your therapist to maintain progress.
• You haven’t found important personal activities yet (not just “should-do” stuff).

Pausing or ending BA therapy could lead to relapse in these cases.

Discuss with your therapist

If you’re wondering whether it’s time to stop, bring it up in therapy.

Together, you can review progress, isolate any blind spots, and plan a safe transition.

A collaborative ending usually leads to better outcomes than stopping abruptly.
