Therapy is supposed to help you learn enough about yourself so you take what you learn and put it into practice in your daily life!
For me, I am not waiting for termination to try out all this stuff in real life. I am just trying it out as I learn it. There is no better time than the present! If I run into difficulties, I still have T around to help troubleshoot.

I like that, jazzy. I have sometimes felt that way about the depression I experienced--it had its role in my life, its value at the time.
