I went to T yesterday and asked her if I could see her twice a week for the next two weeks as I am about to go on a vacation and during that vacation I will be seeing one of my abusers and I am really anxious about it. She said she was hesitating about it because she wants me to start to use what I have learned and apply it out in the world on my own. She is there to support me, but doesn't want me to just rely on her.
*sigh* well, I feel like I "need" her.
She told me that she knows I can do this on my own and has faith in me, but I need to have faith in myself.
She said she wouldn't be surprised if I needed to see her twice in one week when I came back, so we are planning on that.
Has anyone else ever had T tell them that they need to work on their own like this? What did you do? How did you cope?
