I know, right?
No, I don't think I'll confuse things any further with T by using that term. But the term "abstinence" also is used in addictions work (i.e. abstaining from alcohol, etc.), so I guess there are multiple usages of it in psych circles.
But seriously, guys, thanks so much for all your input. I just need to be honest with my T, including about my questions on whether or not this will even work for me...and keep the lines of communication open till I/we feel some resolution about it.
