The fact that you still have worries about your t abandoning you or that you are avoiding dealing with things by keeping busy suggests to me that your work isn't done yet.

It's always good to evaluate your reasons for being in therapy, asking yourself whether your work is done but if you feel you need to be there, then you probably do.
Hi,Asiablue
At the end of the day, I know that I want to be in therapy....that I need to be there because I have unresolved issues that go very far back into my childhood and more than likely, my infancy. To be honest, I think I was questioning because I absolutely hate those awkward silences that have been occurring more frequently during my sessions. I feel like a fish out
of water....it makes me squirm! So off I go tomorrow and hopefully won't experience too many moments of that noisy silence!! Have a good night...
