Well... This is a hard post for me to write because I feel some shame around how I feel. About two weeks ago, my T suggested a reduction in the number of times I see her a week. Although I agreed that this would be a good idea, I had a very strong reaction(anxiety) later. I have a great support system and even have ideas about what I can do with my "free" afternoon, but unfortunately, my old attachment/abandonment issues have been triggered and I feel embarrasses by that. I don't want to become overly dependent on my T but am not sure how to navigate this situation/these feelings. I was supposed to start this process two weeks ago but am now going to wait until Feb. My T said we would try it on a trial basis. Now, in the scheme of life, I realize I am "overreacting" to all of this and I was hoping some of you could "remind" me that I will survive. I will be better off in the long run but right now it feels a bit scary... Thanks!
