I think it's worth asking your T about. Maybe she is giving less support because you don't need it as much anymore. But maybe there is another reason. Maybe she isn't even aware he is doing it.

After I had been seeing my T for two years, I commented to him that we had been seeing each other for two years, and he said, "has it been that long? It still feels fresh." I was glad it still felt fresh to him, but that made me think that sometimes, with some clients, it must stop feeling fresh, or he wouldn't have said that.

Lily, I wonder if that is what is going on with your T?

My T also told me recently that he has never terminated a client. He said he would find it really, really hard to do that. So if he doesn't terminate clients, what does he do? What if he has a client who thinks they should still be in therapy whereas he thinks they shouldn't? Maybe he just withdraws and detaches and lets the client figure it out.... I don't know. I would hope not. But his comments have got me wondering.

Lily, I think it would be good to hear what your T says on this.
