Is it Possible to Have Too Much Therapy?

A cartoon about people who smile too much.

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. -- Leo Tolstoy, in Anna Karenina

This cartoon proves the quotation above is still viable today. Not all therapies are equal, and you might want to investigate the protocol and the professional beforehand. And do stop if you feel too happy. (And your mother was right when she said to stop making faces, or your face will freeze that way.)
