So, maybe I can see her once a month starting in March. That's kind of depressing but I don't have a choice

So, are you going to work on setting an end date with T? Since you are no longer planning to end in December, and are thinking about ways to continue seeing her after March (which is still 9 months away), it doesn't sound like ending is on the horizon. Is T going to work with you on moving towards an end to therapy (which she seems to think is a good idea), or is ending off the table for now? I only ask since it seems like, last week, both you and T felt like setting and end date was a good idea, and now you're happy that T is not going to make you end unless you want to. Is your T being consistent with you on this issue? I only bring this up because it sounds like something that is good to have clarity on and I would think that how T conducts therapy would be different if you were moving towards an ending vs planning another year of intensive therapy, right?
