People can be addicted to all sorts of things, although the word 'addition' is used to describe a lot of things that aren't actually addiction.

If I was working with a client who said they wanted to be counselling forever, that would actually give us a lot of stuff to work on. Anything is 'grist for the mill' when it comes to counselling!

If someone felt that strongly about counselling, it would be helpful for them to look at what needs the counselling was meeting. For example, it might be the only place they feel safe or cared for. If that's the case, you can understand how it would be scary to leave that behind.

Let me know if you need anything more specific!

yes someone can be addicted to counceiling and you slowly stop going. For example: if you go everyday then you go 6 times a week for 1 month then 5 times a week for 1 month then 4times a week for 1 month then 3 times a week for 1.5 months then 2per week for 2 months then 1forever

Well sending them to counseling for their addiction surely wouldn't help- so I'm assuming a doctor, though I've never actually heard of a person being addicted to counseling.
