There are two philosophies about removing band aids. There are those who slowly peel up each side and slowly remove and then there are those like me who remove the band aid by quickly ripping it off...

I've decide to rip off the therapy band aid.

Its a long story...read my other posts if you want...but I've can't seem to get to a place where I can really work through my stuff...and I don't see my T. is going to be able to help me get to the place where I feel safe enough.... I can't keep paying $120 for 45 minutes and not see any progress... I've been "Robbing Peter to pay Paul"in order to pay for therapy and Peter is knocking at the door to get his money...and I need money for my kids christmas presents...

I'm really attached to my T. and just the thought of stopping makes me real sad... I've weighed the pros and cons but I'm not going to write them here because I don't want to be a discouragemnet to others along their therapy journey....

I know my T. is not going to be happy. He will say we do not just stop we wind down... well that sounds too painful. So I plan to tell him at my session on Thursday night that it is my last session. Now I want to make sure my T. knows how much I appreciate all that we have accomplished.. I'm afraid it will get too awkward for me to say what I want to say... Does anyone who left a T. or thought about it, have any ideas of how I could make sure he knows? Write it out? Send email?

Also if anyone has any support or encouragement to offer about how to get through the painful withdrawl, I'd love to hear it.
