I know mindfulness can help, but if I do that, then the 6 months will be over and I'll have to say good-bye to my T. I need to do more than practice mindfulness. Radical acceptance is helping me right now.

I would stay in T forever if I could afford it. That a client decides when to leave is true for most clients, but not for me, especially when the transference and attachment is interfering with my RL, instead of helping it. Also, I have to quit next year for financial reasons anyway. I thought maybe she'd give me a cheap rate, but she doesn't think she can.
